Which Umbraco version are you using?
15.3.0
Bug summary
I encountered the following issue:
I created a document type called "Root Container," which includes a property named "Block List Property" with the data type "Umbraco.BlockList." This data type contains an element-type document called "Element," which has a property named "Text."
Next, I created a node of type "Root Container" and added a new element node to the "Block List Property." I then set the "Text" property within the element node to "Some text."
To investigate further, I placed a breakpoint at the beginning of the
FromEditormethod inUmbraco.Cms.Core.PropertyEditors.DataValueEditorand observed howcurrentValuechanged. However, I found thatcurrentValuealways remained the same aseditorValue.Value.Interestingly, when the property editor is used outside of a Block List, it functions correctly. While this discrepancy is not a major issue for textboxes (as they do not depend on currentValue), it can affect other property editors that do.
This behavior is caused by code (
Umbraco.Cms.Core.PropertyEditors.BlockValuePropertyValueEditorBase):Here, as you can see, we set the same value as current.
The behavior should remain consistent regardless of whether the property is inside a "Umbraco.BlockList" element or not.
