Make LinkItem a valid property type

Vote:
 

LinkItemCollection is great but if you only want one link it would be nice to be able to create a LinkItem property.

I agree. Especially since url property is missing some nice features that is available on LinkItem

Been missed for a long time, we always end up creating two properties.

So I can stop decorating all my "LinkItemCollection" with a custom [MaxItems(1)], and just use a "LinkItem" which is what I need in 90% of cases.

Totally agree. Like @mads we have been decorating with [MaxItems(1)] and then handling a list instead of single.

You can use EPiServer.Url instead

No, it's not the same thing.
Jonas Carlbaum - Jun 11, 2019 14:59
As you can see from Daniel Ovaskas answer there are some nice features (at least used to, if not changed by now) that is missing using URL, that exists in the LinkItem editor.
simon - Aug 31, 2019 11:25
Thanks for your comment Jonas. Do you know which exactly features?
Jonas Carlbaum - Aug 31, 2019 14:36
I can’t recall the exact differences from my mind right now simon, but I think there’s built in features such as target and other nice options.

Even customers asks for these changes.

> on that place we can select that, why can’t we do the same on that other place?

The workarounds seems to be a limited list of one LinkItem or some time consuming effort to extend the URL editor.

That seems costly when there is a good editor, that we can’t re-use...

I don’t know of there are any changes lately or if that is on the road map. But clearly some of us have this feature request...

I agree. To describe the differences:

Missing in URL-property:

  • Link name/text
  • Link title
  • Target

I see my colleague already used LinkItem as a property in a CMS project, it seem working.
