I have contacted the author for the Characteristics and Common Grid Utilities project. He is working on a fix, but it will take a few days. I will let you know when we have an update for the project.

Any idea on the types missing from the Common Grid Utilities ?

I was using the v4.1 zip archive before.  It appears to be incomplete.

Well, that was a huge disappointment.  I&amp;#39;m not quite sure why no one has an answer on this. Or why you would tell me there was an updated version.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Item Characteristics and Common Grid Utilities</title><link>https://www.aras.com/community/thread/888?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 25 Sep 2017 19:00:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">916d3f7e-8ddc-42f8-8d45-380822f51406:c0cf6597-b485-4c2c-916e-abacf8f2df43</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Very good news.  This is such a funny coincidence as I was just looking at starting work on this project today.

The Item Characteristics project has been updated for Aras 11 SP9 if you are still interested in this community project.

Additionally, Aras 11 SP11 is available to subscribers and introduces capability for extended classification. This new feature provides more flexibility to assign groups of characteristics to items.

There is some type of layout issue in Chrome 58 when I posted that URL to the form and it will not let me edit it or delete it.

Just to continue.  I gather Common Grid Utilities allows different Grids to be loaded from XML definitions stored on the file system.  Most likely I could just reconstruct the ItemTypes (tgc_Configuration, tgc_Constant, tgc_*) working backwards from the definitions I have, but that seems kind of silly.

I have merged both Collaboration Folders and Item Characteristics Packages successfully. Both fail when they attempt to load their configuration grid data from the XML file during runtime, due to the missing ItemTypes.

&lt;a href="https://github.com/ArasLabs/collab-folders/tree/master/Import/1-Other%20Dependent%20Packages"&gt;github.com/.../1-Other Dependent Packages&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href="https://github.com/ArasLabs/collab-folders/tree/master/CodeTree/Innovator/Client/Solutions/CommonUtilities/javascript"&gt;github.com/.../javascript&lt;/a&gt;

Or in the archived project “Item Characteristics And Classification”

&lt;a href="https://github.com/ArasLabs/characteristics-and-classification"&gt;github.com/.../characteristics-and-classification&lt;/a&gt;

The problem is that that these methods to parse the grid layouts seem to depend on ItemTypes that are not defined in the default Solution template and I can not find the AML definitions to import anywhere.  For example, “tgc_Configuration”,
&lt;a href="https://github.com/ArasLabs/collab-folders/blob/master/Import/Configuration%20Data%20(optional)/Collaboration%20Folders_GridConfig/Import/cFolders%20Structure%20Grid%20v5-0.xml"&gt;github.com/.../cFolders Structure Grid v5-0.xml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Item Characteristics and Common Grid Utilities</title><link>https://www.aras.com/community/thread/429?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 May 2017 12:25:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">916d3f7e-8ddc-42f8-8d45-380822f51406:8bf238e6-dd99-4bd6-9f5a-c553b49860a2</guid><dc:creator>Yoann Maingon</dc:creator><description>Can you precisely give us the project references you have imported (project url).
