@Med_2024, create a dictionary, add values, then you can update the attribute definition of a type by adding the dictionary_definition and guid to it.

There is an example in the Content Metadata service API create new type definition. See POST /type-definitions/{catagory}, then in the Examples dropdown select 'With dictionary_definition'.

Note that today it is not yet possible to create a dictionary in the VS Code type modeler.

@jpluimers , thank you for the response , just a question what's the guid in ? " create a dictionary, add values,

then you can update the attribute definition of a type by adding the dictionary_definition and guid to it."

And when creating a new type instance of that type-definition , how to pass the value of the attribute linked to

the dictionnary ?

@Med_2024 , the Dictionary service is not yet part of the trial plan. It will be added later.
