Link Collection Module - adding a select drop-down input in a Create link popup form

Vote:

For version: 11.15.0.0 above

I found a few good documents about how to add a hyperlink and a simple text field.

But not a select dropdown input.

Currently, on the form, Link name/Text, Link title, Open in, and links options.

Would like to add additional select dropdown field on the below form.

Enlighten me.
Thanks.

Hi Min,

Are you trying to update a current property? or is this a new property you have created?

I have found that using the LinkItemCollection has it's limitations.

What you are trying to achieve can be done, it just requires some more effort.

Therefore we want to work smarter Marija has written an approach to extending the LinkItemCollection.

Another alternative is to use the PropertyList<T> this way you can create the model with all the options easily and provide this to the editor.

Hi Paul

Thanks. I am trying to update the current property. Yes, it has limitations.

But one of my forms use the LinkItemCollection since the project started but now, want to add one more additional field on the same form as we like to keep editor's data entry workflow as it is now.

I guess, I would need to wait EPiServer to fix it.

Thanks.
