    Changing location of data stored in Custom Property Editor

    I have followed some other peoples examples to create a multidate/time picker custom property editor for my project. However the data is getting stored in a fixed size column in the cmsPropertyData table - the dataNVarchar column. I would like to store the data in the "less limited" column, the dataNtext column.

    Now I am pretty new to Angular - which is the foundation of the custom property editor  - but what I can see is that I am referencing "model.value" to retrieve and store the data. Is there documentation on this "model" object so that I can see what other properties I can reference ?

    Thanks

    Russell

    Hi Russell

    I found the following in the manifest documentation on github: http://umbraco.github.io/Belle/#/tutorials/manifest

    In the editor section of the manifest you can specify the type like this:

    editor: {
 view: "~/App_Plugins/editor_view.html",
 valueType: "JSON"
}

    Default db datatype is nvarchar if you don't specify another valueType.
