Dear Magnolians In Magnolia 4 when you needed a group of checkboxes in a dialog, you used the "checkbox" controlType [1]. It saved its values in a node with multiple single-value properties, e.g.
- myCheckbox - 0: value1 - 1: value2 Now, in Magnolia 5, the checkbox field is only used for a single checkbox. When you need multiple checkboxes, you will have to use the option group field[2]. However, this field now stores the selected values in a multi-value property, which is a good thing but will make it harder to migrate data from 4 to 5. My question: a) Should I convert the data? Maybe there is a migration task that would handle this case? b) Or is there an easy way to manipulate the option group to store the values in the old fashion way as single-value properties underneath a sub node? I personally like a) better, but what do I know ;-) Thanks, -will [1] https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS45/Controls#Controls-radiocheckboxandselect [2] http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Option+group -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=dcc7fbda-5f94-4dd9-aec1-2013fa6424da ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
