Content Type apps in UI 6?

Hi guys

In Magnolia UI 5, creating apps for editing custom Content Types was super easy:

!content-type:customContentType

name: customContentType-app

This is still possible in Magnolia 6.2.3 using the m5 suffix:
!content-type-m5: customContentType

However, for the sake of future proofing my Magnolia setup, what would be the "UI 6 way" of describing basic Content Type apps in YAML?

Does anyone have a template?

Best regards

Hey Niclas,

To ask Magnolia to create app UI 6 way is no other then simply:

!content-type:<content type name>
name: <app-name>

Just be wary that the structure of the app created in a new way is a bit different then the old one, hence if you wanna decorate sub apps (browser, detail) check Definitions app to see what would be correct structure of YAML.
You can find some examples here:

Cheers,
