Hi.

I am trying add text to my Factblock, but get this error instantly after typing the text:

I tried adding [UIHint("StringsCollection")] to the IList<string> property, but im still getting the error.

public class FactBlock : BlockData
{
    [Display(Name = "Tittel", GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content, Order = 1)]
    public virtual string Title { get; set; }

    [UIHint("StringsCollection")]
    [Display(Name = "Fakta", GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content, Order = 2)]
    public virtual IList<string> ListOfStrings { get; set; }

}

This happend after upgrading to CMS 12.

Any ideas?

Seems like the input is a string, not a list of strings.

You could check in CMS/Settings/Content Types/FactBlock, that your property is in fact recognized as a string list. If it is not, then the property is not synced correctly.

It looks like the property is recognized as a string list:

Any other things I could try?

You don't need [UIHint("StringsCollection")] as a decorator. In CMS 12 it is enough to have it as IList<string>.
The easy fix is either change the name of the property to something else. I believe this issue is due to property was not synced after it had it's datatype changed (from string to List<string>)

See this thread where it had a similar issue for commerce but I believe it should be same for CMS too -
