iView custom property values go away after Save

[Former Member]

I have an iView with a predefined list of values to choose from. For example:

portalapp.xml:

<property name="color" value="red">

<property name="type" value="select[red,blue,green]"/>

</property>

When the iView is initially created, I can see the drop-down list with these values. When I select one, then save the iView, the drop-down list disappears (along with all of the predefined values). I can then go back in and put any text in the property and save it, which is obviously undesirable.

Is there a way to prevent this (such that the original list of values is preserved)? This only appears to be a problem with properties I have defined in the XML file. The system properties (that have a list of values) seem to not have this problem.

Thanks,

Hi John,

I cannot see anything wrong there.

Try adding:

<property name="personalization" value="dialog"/>

after the type property.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Thanks for your response. The XML I posted was just an example of the actual one, just to get the point across. I should have posted the actual XML, which did use the "personalization" property:

<property name="bgColor" value="FFFFFF">

<property name="personalization" value="dialog"/>

<property name="type" value="select[FFFFFF,F6F6F6,EEEEEE]"/>

<property name="plainDescription" value="Background Color"/>

<property name="inheritance" value="non-final"/>

<property name="category" value="Custom"/>

</property>

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

at least this is not reproducable on EP6 SP2 P27.

Your version?

The version of our EP seems to be:

version=6.0.2.3.4

Make-Release=60_SP2P3_REL

I'm not really in any position to apply patches to our portal I'll continue to investigate; just curious if anyone had experienced this, and figured out a work-around.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

I also took over your values on EP6 SP2 P27, everything works fine.

It's a straight evaluation: Bug within your Portal. Patch 3 is really really old, so just address this issue to your portal admin(s).

Best regards
