Getting all FormContainerBlock blocks from the content repository is throwing this error: Property string too long, max {1} chars

Vote:
 

I'm trying to get all the forms from the content repository and am trying this:

var formContainerType = _contentTypeRepository.Load(typeof(FormContainerBlock));
var formContainerReferences = _contentRepository.GetDescendents(ContentReference.RootPage);
var allForms = _contentRepository.GetItems(formContainerReferences, LanguageSelector.AutoDetect(true)).Where(content => content.ContentTypeID == formContainerType.ID);

But I get this error on `GetItems`:

EPiServer.Core.InvalidPropertyValueException: 'Property string too long, max {1} chars'

Am I pulling this right? Seems odd to be getting this error on items that are already created.

Hi,

You probably should use the IFormRepository and IFormDataRepository interfaces to retrieve forms.

Then you should be able to do:

var forms = _formRepository.Service.GetFormsInfo(null); 
foreach (var form in forms){
 ...
}
