Issue:
In one of our content types, a user attempted to link other documents inside a Content Block. The issue was observed in the 'AppHome' content type, where the 'Content' field is a Content Block with multiselect enabled. The user created custom field groups to link other documents, but clicking on the 'Video' button i.e. content type did not open the document selection dialog or add a new item in the 'Content' field.
Possible Cause:
The issue was identified as a limitation of the CompoundList feature, which is designed only for Field Groups (Compounds) and not for content types.
Alternative Solution:
Field Group Usage:
Ensure that only Field Groups (Compounds) are included in the "CompoundList" of a content type. Document content types should not be used in the "CompoundList."
Content Block Configuration:
Verify the configuration of the "Content Block" to ensure that it is set up correctly to link the desired document types.
Possible Solution:
- The "CompoundList" feature is designed to be used only for Field Groups (Compounds) and not for content types. Therefore, we shouldn’t add content types in "CompoundList.”
- The issue with the "Content Block" feature was identified and addressed by clarifying the intended usage of the "CompoundList." Customers are advised to follow the best practices and recommendations provided to ensure proper configuration and usage of the "Content Block" feature.
