Multinode tree picker buggy in 7.6.1

Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 7
There is a bug in version 7.6.1 (unless the use of the multi node tree picker has been changed.
```
var collection = new List<string>(navigationNode.GetPropertyValue<string>(footerNavigationAlias).Split(','));
```
@collection.Count() always returns 1 item regardless of the amount.

Im sure im doing it the right way as ive uised this extensively like this on another project, admittantly not this version. I used version 7.5.13.

Seems this version is a bit buggy still, anyone had a similar issue or is the way you use the multinode treepicker different in 7.6.1?

Thanks for any help.

Update:
```
var collection = navigationNode.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>(footerNavigationAlias);
```
This seems to be the way to now interrogate the multinode treepicker, this returns a list of ID's which you can then pass into Umbraco.TypedContent(ID) helper.

Wonder why the method in the first post doesnt work anymore...

Hi David

It's because "Property Value Converters" is part of the core now. Read documentation -

https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/setup/upgrading/760-breaking-changes#property-value-converters-u4-7318

You can disable this functionality by umbracoSetting.config setting: in section settings/content, setting EnablePropertyValueConverters needs to FALSE

Thanks

Alex

Agree with you, it will be nice to have some notification that your code will be different from now after upgrade :)

Glad that you figured it out, have a nice evening!
