I'm using a macro that includes a parameter operating with a MultiNodeTreePicker. This is being utilized in a rich text editor. I exported a file from my live website to my local environment using uSync. The issue lies in Umbraco propensity to create new NodeIDs for each environment. The uSync file refers to a NodeID, not a Guid. I'm curious as to why uSync doesn't utilize Guid for this purpose. Is there a known workaround for this issue?
Workaround wise, you could maybe create a new custom property editor by copying the core implementation from the link above or maybe inheriting from it but giving it a new name and ensuring to add the necessary configuration to make it store Udis:
eg
DefaultConfiguration.Add("idType", "udi");
USync would likely be clever enough to work with the Udis...
Sorry we haven't been able to find a solution to the issue so far. We haven't had the time to dig deep into it, and the problem hasn't been urgent enough to prioritize for us.
All good -- appreciate the reply. We changed our design to just use "single" versions of tree picker and media picker. We dug deep into the uSync code and there's something weird happening where it wouldn't resolve the IDs to UDIs on the "multi" versions. This is the only way we could reliably get Usync to gather and ship changes.
Usync using nodeID instead of Guid when using macro with MultinodeTreepicker is there a workaround?

Hi Wajert
My guess is that the MultipleMediaPicker when used as a ParameterEditor, doesn't have its idType set to 'udi'

and so stores the picked items as integer Ids...

Were you ever able to find a solution to this? Running into the same issue -- Usync 10 + Umbraco 10
