Description

Fixed an issue where the CD GET did not return a list block value in ContentArea inlineBlock.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Call Content Definition API to create a block type BlockWithListBlockAndInteger, properties BlockList and Interger (or any property type)

{
    "name": "BlockWithListBlockAndInteger",
    "baseType": "Block",
    "properties": [
        {
            "name": "BlockList",
            "dataType": "PropertyCollection",
            "itemType": "EditorialBlock",
            "branchSpecific": false,
            "editSettings": {
                "visibility": "default",
                "displayName": "BlockList",
                "groupName": "Information",
                "sortOrder": 0
            }
        },
        {
            "name": "PropInteger",
            "dataType": "PropertyNumber",
            "branchSpecific": false,
            "editSettings": {
                "visibility": "default",
                "displayName": "PropInteger",
                "groupName": "Information",
                "sortOrder": 0
            }
        }
    ]
}

 2. Call Content Management API to create a ProductPage content, ContentArea has inlineBlock is BlockWithListBlockAndInteger

{
    "language": {
        "name": "sv"
    },
    "name": "InlineBlock_Page",
    "contentType": [
        "Block",
        "ProductPage"
    ],
    "parentLink": {
        "id": {{testContainerPageId}}
    },
    "status": "Published",
    "UniqueSellingPoints": {
        "value": [
            "1"
        ]
    },
    "RelatedContentArea": {
        "value": [
            {
                "displayOption": "wide",
                "tag": null,
                "inlineBlock": {
                    "contentType": [
                        "Block",
                        "BlockWithListBlockAndInteger"
                    ],
                    "blockList": {
                        "value": [
                            {
                                "name": "BlockList",
                                "propertyDataType": "PropertyBlock",
                                "propertyItemType": "EditorialBlock",
                                "mainBody": {
                                    "value": "EditorialBlock mainbody",
                                    "propertyDataType": "PropertyXhtmlString"
                                }
                            }
                        ],
                        "propertyDataType": "PropertyCollection",
                        "propertyItemType": "PropertyBlock"
                    },
                    "propInteger": {
                        "value": 1,
                        "propertyDataType": "PropertyNumber"
                    }
                }
            }
        ],
        "propertyDataType": "PropertyContentArea"
    }
}

3. Call Content Management API GET to get content in step 2

  • Observed result: The inlineBlock is correct as input
"inlineBlock": {
                    "contentType": [
                        "Block",
                        "BlockWithListBlockAndInteger"
                    ],
                    "blockList": {
                        "value": [
                            {
                                "name": "BlockList",
                                "propertyDataType": "PropertyBlock",
                                "propertyItemType": "EditorialBlock",
                                "mainBody": {
                                    "value": "EditorialBlock mainbody",
                                    "propertyDataType": "PropertyXhtmlString"
                                }
                            }
                        ],
                        "propertyDataType": "PropertyCollection",
                        "propertyItemType": "PropertyBlock"
                    },
                    "propInteger": {
                        "value": 1,
                        "propertyDataType": "PropertyNumber"
                    }
                }

4. Call Content Definition API GET to get content in step 2

  • Expected result: InlineBlock is same as result in step 3
  • Actual result: InlineBlock has blockList value is []
"inlineBlock": {
                    "contentType": [
                        "Block",
                        "BlockWithListBlockAndInteger"
                    ],
                    "blockList": {
                        "value": [],
                        "propertyDataType": "PropertyCollection",
                        "propertyItemType": "PropertyBlock"
                    },
                    "propInteger": {
                        "value": 1,
                        "propertyDataType": "PropertyNumber"
                    }
                }
