Hi!

We just upgraded to 12.17.1 and after that our properties of the type IList<ContenteReference> is not rendered properly.

I get this error message:

Unable to load /EPiServer/cms/Stores/contentstructure/ status: 500

    "handleAs": "json"
}
}

Some properties of that type is actually rendered correctly so it might have something with the data stored?
The page with the invalid property renders correctly when I view it so there is data stored in the database. Also adding removing references programaticlly works fine, the property is updated and not other data is lost.

Data in the database is stored like this:

["e27309f5-0e90-46dc-bc6d-5e5e200d96ef","daf5c87a-662b-4ee4-9eb2-4a93dc7c4689","1ef05eb0-a6e2-4ba9-ba5d-a170827d34a9","8170c16d-0cff-4ad9-8f3c-247b4c5294ef","8ff2a7f3-ed09-4302-98c4-7097ee93983f","e6d6d915-7c2f-4c10-ab50-c04d7d535006","80e42179-c784-4ef1-8740-524cfd5b7a66","ef2cba23-0d59-4ea2-adba-71c4b1d2cc16","f15b07e7-9ebd-4873-b510-fce3cf03a1b1"]

It is nine links rendered is only eight so could it be that one of the links is invalid and that the edit mode cannot handle that? And in the "postData" it looks like one of the links are empty.

Not sure where to start here. 

Thanks!

This was a known bug but should have been resolved in newer versions of CMS

We updated the CMS packages from 12.23.1 to 12.25.1, after which the problem disappeared. It's probably bug CMS-29726  but then on a ContentArea rather than an IList<T>. 🎉
