    $scope.model.config is always null

    I'm trying to create a dropdown property for macros. I have managed to do this however I can't seem to access the config values to populate it. I was hoping to have a list of values in $scope.model.config.testValue1

    angular.module("umbraco").controller("My.MacroDropDownController",
    function ($scope) {
    
        if ($scope.model.config == null) {
            alert('still null!');
        }
        else {
            alert('HAS A VALUE!');
        }
    
    });
    

    Here is my manifest:

    {
    // you can define multiple editors
    propertyEditors: [
        {
            alias: "My.MacroDropDown",
            name: "My macro dropdownr",
            icon: "icon-code",
            group: "Rich Content",
    
        isParameterEditor: true,
    
            editor: {
                view: "~/App_Plugins/MacroDropDown/macrodropdown.html"
            },
    
            prevalues: {
                fields: [
                    {
                        label: "Test value 1",
                        description: "desc goes here",
                        key: "testValue1",
                        view: "multivalues"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
    ,
    javascript: [
        '~/App_Plugins/MacroDropDown/macrodropdown.controller.js'
    ]
    

    }

    I've added them in the Data Types section and can see it in the database.

    Any ideas why $scope.model.config is always null?

    Hi Simon

    You can use a custom 'property editor' for a 'Data Type' or for a 'Macro Parameter', but you can't use a Data Type for a Macro Parameter, if that makes sense ?

    I mean it would make sense if you could...

    but at the moment, there is no UI to provide the prevalues when the property editor is used as a Macro Parameter, which is why scope.config is always null.

    In the past I've hardcoded the prevalues inside the 'property editor' :-( I guess you could maybe have them in your own config file, read into the editor...

    regards

    Marc

    Thanks Marc, I had a bad feeling it was going to be something like that.

    As you say I'll probably add the values to a config file then load them based on an alias suffix.
