I created a bunch of document types and detailly describe what those document type. When i create a new content page, when i select document type, the description with that document did not show. It stay with the old description from the first document type. Am i missing something?
As I mentioned in your other thread the old bug is due to special characters in the Document Type descriptions (assuming that's the issue you're having). So if upgrading is not an option another workaround is to remove the special characters from your descriptions (apostrophes etc).
I was searching threads in forum about this problem and found one say something like you've mentioned. Then i did try to remove single quote in description. So far i dont see any special character in my description anymore. Still it didnt work. Do you have a list of special characters?
FYI, we have multiple website under Umbraco, the other website doesn't have this problem.
I don't have a list of other characters, perhaps backslash?
But you should be able to find the offending document type - turn on your Error Console in Firefox and attempt to create a new document and change the dropdown. It should throw a javascript error, and if you click the link it should show you exactly which line/doctype it's on:
Document Type's description display wrong
Hi,
Configuration: Windows XP, Umbraco 4.5.2
I created a bunch of document types and detailly describe what those document type. When i create a new content page, when i select document type, the description with that document did not show. It stay with the old description from the first document type. Am i missing something?
Thank you
I think that was a bug in 4.5. I believe that the issue was fixed in 4.7.
:)
Are you saying that we have to upgrade to 4.7 the whole CMS? i hope not.
Thank you anyway, i was suspected that's a bug too.

Great trick Tom,
That narrow down the location of error and i found there is 1 description still have single quote in that. It WORKS now.
Thank you for the trick Tom. Thread Close......
@Tom, that's awesome! I wasn't aware of that workaround, thanks for posting!
