I get the same error. 

I have tried to do nothing, but the error remains...

The same error occurs when I add items to a SelectionElementBlock.

I'm using EPiServer.UI 9.3.1 & EPiServer.Framework 9.3.2.

When I think of it, the same thing happens when I use a ContentReferenceList in a block and use that block as a property on a page.

Hi Jonas,

Though the SelectionElementBlock currently does not use the ContentReferenceList we really want to see this potential error. Unfortunately I am also fail trying reproduce the same error using the ContentReferenceList as your short description, I neither see any registed relative bug for this property type.

It would be helpful with your more step/description/code. Thanks!

I also get this problem when using a contentreferencelist in a local block property. After the initial save, when re-opening the property, it's empty and the below error message is displayed in console. The initial save of contentreferences works, and the property works correctly in the all properties view. But using it in dope mode returns the above error. Even worse is that if I change a different value in dope and save the page, the contentreferencelist property in the local block property is saved empty.

@Eric: With your information I can reproduce the issue, and raised as bug CMS-2930 ContentReferenceList does not work when used as a property in a Local Block.

This issue merely does not relate to the ChoiceElementBlock though, not sure Thorbjørn had used the ChoiceElementBlock as a local block or not, but I do not think the ChoiceElementBlock has been ready for this pupose.

Thank all for notifying us about this!

I encountered the same problem when using Episerver UI language in Norwegian. Succeeding to avoid the problem men changing the UI language to English. I have registered a support case for this.

UPDATE: AFORM-468 is fixed and close by CMS 9.9 (it does not related to Forms).

CMS-2930 is closed as "won't fix": "Currently we don't support the editing of this kind of nested properties via OPE".

@THACH

What kind of explanation is that for CMS-2930? I think there is a missunderstanding in the bug report. I'm not trying to edit a nested property, only a local block property. It's a bug in the platform. All other properties can be edited when in a local block proprety via OPE. Content areas, content references etc etc.

Please have someone look at this again, I can't imagine it's something that's that hard to fix. I think this is the missunderstanding:

This row in the bug is incorrect as far as i can tell: @Html.PropertyFor(x => x.CurrentPage.ImageRefsBlock.ImageRefs) it should be @Html.PropertyFor(x => x.CurrentPage.ImageRefsBlock)

The problem is not when editing one of the properties in the local block directly. Its when you edit the entire local block and all the properties open up. I've attahed a couple of screenshot to make this more clear. This as said previously works for all other properties.

When editing the grouped property (single image, or images as contentrerencelist for slideshow) via dope:

Same grouped property in "All properties"-view:

Thanks
