    Default element type not showing

    Feedback & Questions
    Umbraco 8

    Hi,

    I have a strange issue and i cant figure out what the problem is.

    When adding a block, the default element type dosnet appear after adding the block. Instead i get a add content link which opens a dialog where i can choose between available element types.

    At some point it worked, but now it dosnt. This image shows that i need to click 'Add content' enter image description here

    I should get this option enter image description here

    Can you point me in the direction to where the problem is?

    And thanks for at great product. Its so sweet

    Hi Peter,

    Sounds like the datatype settings may need some changes. Can you have a look at Settings > DataTypes > (your content block data type)?

    1. At "Element Types" it should only have selected a single element type
    2. "Min items" should be set to 1
    3. "Max items" should be set to 1.
    4. Hide Label can be checked to hide "Elementer" in your image, but this is just what you prefer.

    Let me know if that works :)

    HI,

    Yes, if my datatype has these settings, i get the default element type. But how to add all the other element types then?

    Thought is should be something like this

    Unfortunately every block needs to be put in their own data type. So you cannot use only 1 data type for all blocks.

    I agree it would be easier if it is possible for ContentBlocks to use that 1 datatype which has all the blocks listed but I haven't looked into that yet.
