Thanks Ollie!

After looking at the release notes you provided a link to it must be as you say, the documentation has not been updated.

Not the first and not the last time documentation's been lagging behind (referring to documentation in general) :-)

Hi,

Using simple value types, such as string, datetime (IList<string>) and so on is supported now. But complex types (IList<MyClass>) are still in beta.

And to answer your question, I wouldn't be afraid of using it with complex types. Just be cautious with changing your type that is stored in the list since Episerver may not handle the migration that well. In most cases this is not a problem, and if there is, you can always override the serialization to handle it. I can't imagine that they would deprecate it.

Thanks for the info!

PropertyList is not being deprecated, but neither is the documentation not up to date. Complex type is simply a scenario that's not supported for PropertyList and where we suggest using Blocks instead. It is however not "still in beta" as Johan is saying. The beta stamp was removed for CMS 11, but it was decided to limit it to value types and there are currently no immediate plans to add the functionality that we feel is missing to put our support behind it. It could be that we instead will focus on improving the editor experience for block editing with this scenario in mind.

So in regards to using it with complex type I would probably not be afraid of using it, but recommend that you test your implementation carefully. After all, CMS includes implementation based on it such as PropertyContentReferenceList that are supported. But know that it relies on additional implentation details to be able to provide functionality for things such as export/import, cache safety, link tracking and default values.

Hi guys,

We have problems when publishing a page has IList<T> property that EPiServer Find throws this error ( we have upgraded to the latest version for EPiServer Find recently )

An exception occurred while indexing (Content): MapperParsingException object mapping for [EventPage] with array for [TicketItems] tried to parse as array, but got EOF, is there a mismatch in types for the same field?
Event page has IList<TicketClassModel> TicketItems property like below.
[EditorDescriptor(EditorDescriptorType = typeof(CollectionEditorDescriptor<TicketClassModel>))]
public virtual IList<TicketClassModel> TicketItems { get; set; }

Do you have any idea regarding this issue?

Thanks.
