Just had a standard uComponents CheckBoxTree property save itself as text like that now - turns out it was because I'd converted the property from an XPath DropdownList, so it was somehow registered to store text instead of XML. Had to add a bogus property to the Doctype and save that before the property returned to storing XML again... (actually, I suspect it may be sufficient to just save the Doctype again?).
So: Did you just change the DataTypeGrid property from a text-only type to the URL Picker by any chance?
URL-Picker and DataType Grid, bad combo ?
If I use the URL-Picker as a normal property type on a document it work perfectly fine, and the output is rendered as regular XML.
But if I use the same datatype in a DataType Grid the XML is rendered as text and I cannot xPath my way in.
Any ideas for a fix or a workaround ?
Hi Sebastian,
A quick fix would be to use the ParseXML extension, but make sure to file a bug report, as this is a useless way to store the value...
