package.manifest so far:

{
"css": [
    "~/App_Plugins/CustomCss/custom.css"
],
"propertyEditors": [
    {
        "alias": "MyCustom.Umbraco.MultiUrlPicker",
        "name": "Macro Multi Url Picker",
        "isParameterEditor": true,
        "editor": {
            "view": "~/umbraco/Views/propertyeditors/multiurlpicker/multiurlpicker.html"
        }
    }
]

}

Just tried a 8.1.2 update but the macro datatype is still not saving

Currently i have the same Problem. But I am enabling MacroParameter PropertyEditors in a different way. I add a class like this

[DataEditor(Constants.PropertyEditors.Aliases.MultiUrlPicker, EditorType.MacroParameter,
        "Multi URL Picker", "MultiUrlPicker", ValueType = ValueTypes.Json, Group = "media", Icon = Constants.Icons.MediaFile)]
public class MultiUrlPickerPropertyEditor : DataEditor
{
    public MultiUrlPickerPropertyEditor(ILogger logger)
        : base(logger)
    { }

    protected override IConfigurationEditor CreateConfigurationEditor() => new MultiUrlPickerConfigurationEditor();
}

First i thought that it was because of the wrong ValueType (was initially set to string) but still not working.

I managed to make other PropertyEditors successfully available like RichTextEditor or MultipleMediaPicker.

Any help would be appreciated.

hi Claude

Can i ask where that class approach code sample is from, umbraco documentation?

My approach is currently based on https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/extending/macro-parameter-editors/ however that is still not "verified for umbraco 8" so i might be doing it incorrectly. The editor appears fine in the backoffice, it just doesn't save anything.

I'm just looking for a way to use the core property editor "Multi Url Picker" as a macro parameter :)

Sorry, i can't tell yoi where i found it. It was maybe stackoverflow not in the docs. When i am back from holidays i try to find it again.

I had the same issue of wanting to use MultiUrlPicker as a Macro Parameter.

I've gone a little bit further by copying multilinkpicker.controller.js to make my own property editor.

With a few console.log I found that $scope.$on("formSubmitting"... does not fire in the Macro context and so $scope.model.value = $scope.renderModel never happens.

I changed my copy of multilinkpicker.controller.js to set $scope.model.value every time $scope.renderModel is set E.g.

$scope.renderModel.push(link);
$scope.model.value.push(link); // My code

It works.

There may be a fault in Umbraco? In any case I'm somewhat surprised that the MultiUrlPicker isn't available as a Macro property in base Umbraco (as at version 8.1.5)

has anyone discovered a method for doing this in umb8 or should i create a bug in github? thanks

In case anyone is interested... I added a feature request:

Macro Parameters in V8 - Any chance we can just use DataTypes? https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/7319

is working on a reply...
