This is my first Umbraco site, it's been a pleasure. I have a fairly serious bug, however.
In general, adding / changing properties for doc types and member types is error-prone. I have a fairly rich member type that needs a (non-mandatory) field changed from "TExtbox Multiple" to "Richtext editor". This crashes the individual member display forms. I tried a workaround of adding a new Richtext property to the member type - this also crashes the admin forms.
REPRO STEPS:
1. create a ne member type with a Textstrig multiple property
2. Add 2-3 new members and populate this property
3. Change the property to Richtext editor and save.
4. Pull up a member profile - should obser Server Error page displayed where form is usually found.
This also happens with documents, and I fixed it with custom SQL. Members are proving a little tougher to crack.
Hope that's enough to go on ... thanks, and again I really enjoy working on the platform.
Hi Kate - sorry, I haven't been able to solve it, mainly because of time constraints ... I believe it involves some "hands-on" SQL manipulation of the cmsPropertyData and cmsPropertyType tables. I was not able to resolve the problem by upgrading to 4.5.2 either. I'm in the nasty position right now of not being able to add to or change any of the member or document properties in my application ... without some serious R&D work anyways :-)
I am very much looking forward to a resolution to this issue, so let's keep each other informed, eh?
If you Think this is a bug and want to make sure that the core-team has a look at it, please submit it in the issue tracker on codeplex.com/umbraco - this way other people can vote on it if they experience it too.
So I Will recommend you copy/paste your description in there.
Changing or adding RichText property type for Member crashes admin

Hi Kurt
I found this in codeplex.com http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/29032
Give it a vote and hopefully they will fix it soon :-)
Jan / Kate - I voted in CodePlex and added my comments from the OP above. This is IMO a serious flaw so let's hope it gets fixed!
