Hi,

I'm creating about 500 pages in a new Umbraco v6.1.6 website using an import script I've coded. I'm using the ContentService api to create the new pages. They are created and seem to save fine. However if I request the value of a checbox list from one of the new pages, I get an empty string.

I've verified that the property is empty in the umbraco.config file however If I manually save the page from the Umbraco back office. the cache will update with the correct value and I suddenly get the correct value returned.

Is there a way to force a cache update or some other form of fix for this issue?

This is the CreateContent method I'm using:

public static IContent CreateContent(string name, string documentTypeAlias, int parentId, Dictionary properties, bool publish = false, int author = 0)
{
    IContent document = null;

    ContentService contentService = new ContentService();
    document = contentService.CreateContent(
                    name, // the name of the document
                    parentId, // the parent id should be the id of the group node 
                    documentTypeAlias, // the alias of the Document Type
                    author);

    foreach (string property in properties.Keys)
    {
        document.SetValue(property, properties[property]);
    }

    // If publish is true, then save and publish the document
    if (publish)
    {
        contentService.SaveAndPublish(document);
    }
    // Else, just save it
    else
    {
        contentService.Save(document);
    }

    return document;
}

Thanks in advance,
Luke

Edit:

After looking into the database, I can see that cmsContentXml has the property but the data within it is the same as umbraco.config. I looked into cmsPropertyData and the data is present. So I guess the question is how do I get the data from cmsPropertyData to cmsContentXml?
