AF - Auto Populate Properties

This is an Umbraco extension that allow developers to configure which document type and/or media type properties must be auto-populate on saving actions.

For each document and/or media types, the developers must specify wich properties must be auto populate and how.

The default configuration file ("afapp.config.json") is stored in "\App_Plugins\AFAutoPopulateProperties\" folder, it contains a basic configuration that is already working.

- Property "id": section id
- Property "sectionName": section name ("content" or "media")
- Property "label": section tab name
- Property "alias": section alias
- Property "active": if true, set the tab active
- Property "actions": contains the actions list to which the auto-populate functionality will be applied
- Property "action": according to Umbraco directives, the Created Action ("created") has been removed therefore the Auto Populate Properties function now only occurs during the Saving Action ("saving")
- Property "doctypeAlias": if the value is empty the action will be applied to all doctypes otherwise the action will be applied only to the specified doctype
- Property "propertyAlias": Property to auto populate
