You'll have to set the backing type for your property, something like this
[BackingType(typeof(PropertyDictionaryMultiple))]
public virtual IEnumerable<string> MultipleValue { get; set; }
How would I set up a custom editor then using that as the backing type? I tried EditorDescriptor but it seems like it is no longer loading the all properties page.
I'm still having trouble with this property. I have set it as you suggested, and I am not getting any visual representation of it on the screen. It only shows the field name and then it is blank next to it. I think it would be really good to have Epi develop the ability to have a collection of strings for commerce as I would imagine many people would want to utilize something like that.
It seems like support was added for this based on the release notes, but I am trying to save data to the field in question via the content repostiory function. It saves other data, but anything that is of type ItemCollection<string> is not being saved to the database even though I know I am adding it to the object.
//product exists already, update the data ProductNode prod = _contentRepo.Service.Get<ProductNode>(_referenceConverter.Service.GetContentLink("Item_" + product.ItemNumber)); prod = prod.CreateWritableClone<ProductNode>(); //loop through same product and apply all state codes at once if (!prod.StateRestrictions.Contains(product.StateCode)) { prod.StateRestrictions.Add(product.StateCode); _contentRepo.Service.Save(prod, SaveAction.Save); }
I was able to get this to start saving data. The issue was that when using the ItemCollection<string> you have to set the value to a predefined value in the dictionary for that field. I needed to go into commerce and manually add any values that I needed to assign programatically and then everything worked. The next thing I need to do is programatically add those values as well so I don't have to manual do it since I have several lists to process.
I am trying to use a propertylist within commerce, but I get a type converesion error.
The type System.Collections.Generic.IList`1[[System.String, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]] can not be mapped to a MetaDataType
Has anybody ever used a property list within a commerce ProductNode object?
