Hi Marie, this is a good use case, and I agree selecting the type should work better. For now I don't see work-around and you'll need to wait for 8.0 to have more control over that. For example, I guess the sh:node trick from the previous emails could be used then.
But since your scenario makes a lot of sense, I have just added another flag dash:allowTypeSelection for dash:Constructors for 8.0. When set to true and the base type has subclasses this will make the dialog show a class selection tree rooted in the base type, allowing users to pick a specific subclass. This selection will then become the value of the JS variable 'type' in the script.
