Creating a property without Label/DisplayName is impossible?
It's possible. You can create a custom editor to remove the label.
but if you only want to remove the label of the checkboxes, the simplest way in my opinion is creating a custom SelectMany attribute.
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false)]
public class SelectManyWithoutLabelAttribute : Attribute, IDisplayMetadataProvider
{
public void CreateDisplayMetadata(DisplayMetadataProviderContext context)
{
var extendedMetadata = context.DisplayMetadata.AdditionalValues[ExtendedMetadata.ExtendedMetadataDisplayKey] as ExtendedMetadata;
if (extendedMetadata == null)
{
return;
}
extendedMetadata.ClientEditingClass = "epi-cms/contentediting/editors/CheckBoxListEditor";
extendedMetadata.SelectionFactoryType = SelectionFactoryType;
extendedMetadata.DisplayName = "";
}
public virtual Type SelectionFactoryType { get; set; }
}

Thanks, that's working. Actually if i just provide a Description the question-mark(help text) is shown and there is no label. With the SelectManyWithoutLabelAttribute the behavior is same. But once i remove also the description this attribute come in useful, no help-text and label are shown.

Hi, i have the requirement to show some checkboxes in an inline block without a label, but the cms is adding the property-name as fallback:
This is the main block:
public class ArticleFilterBlock : NonTrackingBlockBase { [Display( Name = "Articles filter criteria", Order = 10)] public virtual ArticleFilterCriteriaBlock? ArticleFilterCriteria { get; set; } [Display( Name = "Visible filters", Order = 20)] public virtual ArticleFilterSettingsBlock? ArticleFilterSettings { get; set; } }and this is the ArticleFilterSettingsBlock
public class ArticleFilterSettingsBlock : NonTrackingBlockBase { [Display(Name = "Sort by", Description = "The initial sorting of displayed Articles in the result list", Order = 10)] [SelectOne(SelectionFactoryType = typeof(EnumSelectionFactory<ArticleSortOrder>))] [DefaultValue(ArticleSortOrder.StartPublishDesc)] public virtual string? SortBy { get; set; } [Display(Order = 20)] [SelectMany(SelectionFactoryType = typeof(EnumSelectionFactory<ArticleFilterBarSettings>))] public virtual string? ArticleFilterBarSettings { get; set; } }So i want to show the ArticleFilterbarSettings without a label since it's just a bunch of checkboxes and the "Visible filters" is already the label for both properties.
It seems to be impossible :
