I have two document types:
- FormSubmission
- FormField
The Form document type has a property named Fields which is a Nested Content data type that contains a list of FormField document types. I am trying to programmatically (in a SurfaceController) create a FormField and add it to the Fields property of the Form document type.
Here is the code I am trying to use to do this:
var newFormFields = new List<Umbraco.Core.Models.IContent>();
int i = 0;
foreach (var formField in model.Fields)
{
string fieldName = string.Format("Field {0}", i);
var newFormField = contentService.CreateContent(fieldName, newFormSubmission.Id, "formFieldSubmission", formNode.CreatorId);
newFormField.SetValue("fieldName", formField.Name);
newFormField.SetValue("fieldType", formField.Type);
newFormField.SetValue("manditory", formField.Manditory);
newFormField.SetValue("fieldValue", formField.Value);
newFormFields.Add(newFormField);
++i;
}
newFormSubmission.SetValue("fields", newFormFields);
var status = contentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(newFormSubmission, formNode.CreatorId, raiseEvents: false);
On the newFormSubmission.SetValue("fields", newFormFields); line it throws this exception:
The best overloaded method match for 'Umbraco.Core.Models.ContentBase.SetPropertyValue(string, string)' has some invalid arguments
Anyone have any ideas how to store a list of DocumentTypes in the Nested Content data type?
PS: I am using Umbraco version 7.4.0 assembly: 1.0.5885.31226
UPDATE:
Lee Kelleher pointed me in the right direction towards developing my own solution in this post on the umbraco forms. I hope to have time after this project to polish up my solution and submit a pull request to the project.
I basically ended up creating some extension methods that take an IEnumerable<IContent> and return a JSON representation of the objects for the NestedContent plugin.
