Hi All,

I'm trying to create a custom property editor that will return all child documents of a given parent for a given document type. I've found examples of how to setup something similar here: Umbraco v7 XPathDropdownList aka Docr

My problem has to be read from a separate control.  To this end I set up my custom control to require the document type alias and the alias of the control that holds the document to be used as parent. I've found that if this control is of type MultiNodeTreePicker then I can't read it's value.  Textstring and number fields, however, work fine.

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks

Controller file:

angular.module("umbraco")
    .controller("cmsHoR.DocrController",
    function ($scope, docrResource, notificationsService, editorState) {

        //first we retrieve all children docs from requested node
        docrResource.getChildren($scope.model.config.documentTypeAlias,
                                 editorState.current,
                                 $scope.model.config.fieldToRead).then(function (response) {

            $scope.documents = response.data;
        }, function () {
            notificationsService.error("Error", "Error loading child documents");
        });

});

Resources File

 angular.module('umbraco.resources').factory('docrResource', function ($q, $http) {
     return {

        getChildren: function (documentTypeAlias, currentState, fieldToRead) {
            if (currentState != undefined && documentTypeAlias != "") {

                //Urggghh.. currently hardcoding path to property
                var rootNode = currentState.tabs[0].properties[7];

                var url = "backoffice/cmsHoR/DocrApi/GetChildDocuments";
                url += "?documentAlias=" + documentTypeAlias;
                url += "&rootNode=" + rootNode.value;

                return request = $http.get(url);
            }

            return null;
        }
     };

 });
