Custom property setting on V13
# help-with-umbraco

I'm looking to add our own setting on the Property Settings modal window. I'm thinking there's no out of the box way to do it, maybe an angular hijack/interceptor somewhere? Bit of context, we're trying to add a property of our own, i.e enable export or exportAlias, when we create the models via a custom implementation of modelsbuilder. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1343657538553385030/1343657538859700344/Screenshot_2025-02-24_at_18.52.05.png?ex=67be1219&is=67bcc099&hm=c01f8c9e4d9ee9b3a4eeda36158b3a4fcb4f05a7ead34fd46c0201e0688605cf&

Hey Ian, been a while mate, hope you're well. I don't know of a way to do this but have been having similar thoughts. Are you at Umbraco Spark and the Package Jam next Thursday? (https://www.meetup.com/umbristol/events/305647372/) What you want to do sounds very much like my idea on row 18 of this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HKYZvM1XTMn0fbKKT68XSFOD6u9BIdC8ih5bzebDWPo/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Just found ther's a channel for the Package Jam https://discord.com/channels/869656431308189746/1343511392430325810

@Matt Bliss all good thanks, yes, I'm down for Spark next week, but only the Friday, I'll grab you at some point to discuss. Your package idea sounds very similar to what we want to do 👍 . Our requirements are these: 1) ability to add a checkbox and or textbox (maybe other simple controls) against each propertytype / field added to a doc type. 2) we need a checkbox (Include in model) and textbox (Alternate Alias) 3) then in our custom modelsbuilder code, when the standard PublishedContent models are built, we are going to build our own set of xxxxx.cs models for use elsewhere I've got to the point where I can add some properties to the modal, but this has involved intercepting the angularjs call to "views/common/infiniteeditors/propertysettings/propertysettings.html" and switching it out for a custom version. I really don't want to go down that route and alter the CMS standard code. I'd much prefer a code / extensible way to do it !!

Awesome, see you on Friday then. It does sound similar, It's just at the idea stage at this point, I've no idea how to go about it, but though the Pacakage Jam was a good place to start exploring the idea with greater minds than mine in the room!
Sounds like you've made some good progress!
