Changing the choices of a column depending on the folder
Like that i didn't see any.
Personally, i'm not in favor of folder, i'm using a flat structure, it avoid duplicate file and i use the metadata to filter. In your case, I will probably still use the content type and customize with site column ( so I can copy paste file with metadata if i change location within the site) and use several libraries.
Or playing with the termset as metadata. you make a structure tree with the term set and put "communication" as non-selectable and behind put your 2 options. You set the column as mandatory. In that case you don't play with content type
So far as I know it's not possible with out of the box option.
you can probably play with some customization to hide the menu based on the location (but in my opinion i wouldn't do it as change on sharepoint can appear and your customization may suddenly stop working)
If you expect that the list might become long ( more that 5000 documents), took the opportunity to instead split in different library
Thanks for the quick reply! I was fearing it would not be possible easily... I do agree that the customization is not the perfect solution. Any idea of an other feature/option that could help me?
