Propertylist of Propertylist of page not showing properly
Hi,
I think, if you want to change the way the grid is rendered, you're going to have to write a bit of dojo. I don't know how you want the nested list to display but, assuming you have a property on MySecondPropType called ItemName and you want the nested list to appear in the grid as a list of the ItemName properties, one per line, you could create a JavaScript file like this:
define([
"dojo/_base/array",
"dojo/_base/declare",
"dojo/_base/lang",
"epi-cms/contentediting/editors/CollectionEditor"
],
function (
array,
declare,
lang,
CollectionEditor
) {
return declare([CollectionEditor], {
_getGridDefinition: function () {
var result = this.inherited(arguments);
// Apply custom formatting to the mySecondProps property here
// Note the fact that property names are converted to camel case
result.mySecondProps.formatter = function (values) {
return values.map(x => x.itemName).join('<br/>');
};
return result;
},
});
});If you save that to a location (e.g. /scripts/dojo/MyCustomCollectionEditor.js), you can then reference it from your list property like this:
[ClientEditor(ClientEditingClass = "/scripts/dojo/MyCustomCollectionEditor.js")]
public virtual IList<MyPropType> MyProps { get; set; }
Which should use the customised version of the collection editor to render the grid with the nested list neatly formatted.

I have a page with Ilist property and the property has Ilist property in it. While displaying in CMS, it shows [object Object],[object Object] in grid. My code looks like below.
[CultureSpecific] [Required] [EditorDescriptor(EditorDescriptorType = typeof(CollectionEditorDescriptor<MyPropType>))] [BackingType(typeof(MyPropTypeListProperty))] [Display(Name = "Something = 11)] public virtual IList<MyPropType> MyProps{ get; set; } [PropertyDefinitionTypePlugIn] public class MyPropTypeListProperty : PropertyListBase<MyPropType> { } public class MyPropType { [EditorDescriptor(EditorDescriptorType = typeof(CollectionEditorDescriptor<MySecondPropType>))] public virtual IList<MySecondPropType> MySecondProps{get;set;} } public class MySecondPropType { ... } [PropertyDefinitionTypePlugIn] public class MySecondPropTypeProperty : PropertyListBase<MySecondPropType> { }
