    Incorrect display/access RTE values of a Media object

    Templates, (partial) views and macros
    Umbraco 7

    Created a new Media type today with a few Rich Text Editor fields. When attempting to access the values of these RTE fields, it either comes back blank or incorrect.

    Here is a trimmed down version of the razor code:

    @for (int index = 0; index < flexCtas1.Count(); index++) {
    CtaFlex flexCta = flexCtas1[index];
    <div>
        @(flexCta.CtaTextEnglish)
    </div>
}

    Here's all the methods that either fail or come short of working correctly:

    Direct access: flexCta.CtaTextEnglish

    • Returns blank

    Property value access (strongly typed): flexCta.GetPropertyValue

    • Returns blank

    Property value access (no type): flexCta.GetPropertyValue("CtaTextEnglish")

    • Returns text including html tags but no conversion of internal links, urls, etc. e.g. i see this in the rendered version: href="/{localLink:28717}"

    What's the fix here? I have been developing with umbraco for several years and don't remember seeing this particular problem before.

    Using Umbraco version 7.4.3 assembly: 1.0.5948.18141

    Can I ask a few questions about your example:

    What is the flexCtas1 object in your code snippet above? e.g. is it an IEnumberable<CtaFlex>?

    How are you populating this flexCtas1 object?

    And is a CtaFlex a Models Builder class or a custom class you've written?

    It might also be useful to see your custom Media object definition (e.g. a screenshot of the media type in Settings)

    CtaFlex is the Media type created in the backoffice (i.e. Models Builder).

    flexCtas1 is created as follows:

    List<CtaFlex> flexCtas1 = new List<CtaFlex>();
string[] flexCtas1List = Model.Content.CaFlexCtasSection1.Split(new string[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
if (flexCtas1List != null && flexCtas1List.Any()) {
    flexCtas1 = Umbraco.TypedMedia(flexCtas1List).OfType<CtaFlex>().ToList();
}

    The only field that concerns me right now is the one that uses the Rich Text Editor field (CtaTextEnglish)
