hey out there,

i've got a umbraco project that was recent upgraded from v7.2.6 to v7.7.2.

there's a load of datatypes based on the 'Umbraco.MultiNodeTreePicker' property which displays as '(Obsolete) Multinode Treepicker' in the 'property editor' select.

i've experimented with changing these to the 'Umbraco.MultiNodeTreePicker2' property editor but it blows away the selections...

the problem i have now is that i need to add a new datatype and i've based it on the 'Umbraco.MultiNodeTreePicker2' property editor. when i debug the code, it's not returning as 'IEnumerable

the below watch grab shows the data being returned for a property based on the 'Umbraco.MultiNodeTreePicker' and the 'Umbraco.MultiNodeTreePicker2':

the 1st one is returning the id of the selected node '1438'. the 2nd one is returning 'umb' links in a csv 'umb://document/2ca28e5729dc47e7b66f1ab90bec8820,umb://document/7f03a200d1b046fb83781444131f2735'.

using this code on the 1st property works but using it on the 2nd property returns nothing:

var quotes = t.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("quotes");

this is a bit of a nightmare! has anyone any idea what's going on here?! one route i can see out of this is to change the 2nd datatype to be based on the 'Umbraco.MultiNodeTreePicker' property but this isn't possible due to it not being the select list!

help?!
