I've tried it with type string for my color property: Does NOT work.
But I noticed that not the property tab of the created article is
shown in the management interface, but the property tab of its folder, 
altough the url is correct. 
Seems to me as Zope tries first to get 'manage_propertiesForm' from
my article and then (because the attribute is not found) from the
folder. But why doesn't Zope find the attribute in the class Article?
Article is derived from PropertyManager, and PropertyManager defines
an attribute called 'manage_propertiesForm.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Bye Stefan
