Hi,

I am trying out creating a custom field type. I followed the example in this post here.

However, when I debug my view, the Additional Settings property is always empty. Is there something im missing? 

Any help is much appreciated!

FieldType Source

   public class Input : FieldType
    {
        public Input()
        {
            Id = new Guid("7D94EAA1-D277-487C-8ED0-FA666AADD41D");
            Name = "Input";
            Description = "Renders an input control according to the provided input type";
            Icon = "/umbraco/Plugins/umbracoContour/images/fieldtypes/textfield.png";
            DataType = FieldDataType.String;
        }

        [Setting("InputType", description = "Type of input control to render", control = "Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.TextField")]
        public string InputType { get; set; }

        public override string RenderPreview()
        {
            return "<input type=\"" + InputType + "\" class=\"textfield\" value=\"[email protected]\" />";
        }

        public override string RenderPreviewWithPrevalues(List<object> prevalues)
        {
            return RenderPreview();
        }
    }
Partial View
@model Umbraco.Forms.Mvc.Models.FieldViewModel

@{
    string type = "text";

    if (Model.AdditionalSettings.Any(x => x.Key == "InputType"))
    {
        type = Model
            .AdditionalSettings
            .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Key == "InputType")
            .Value;
    }

}

<input type="@type" name="@Model.Name" id="@Model.Id" class="text" value="@Model.Value"

@{if (Model.Mandatory || Model.Validate)
  {<text>data-val="true"</text>}}
@{if (Model.Mandatory)
  {<text> data-val-required="@Model.RequiredErrorMessage"</text>}}
@{if (Model.Validate)
  {<text> data-val-regex="@Model.InvalidErrorMessage" data-regex="@Model.Regex"</text>}}

 />
