Not able to edit banner component in smart edit

[former_member647013]

Hello ,

I am trying to edit banner component from smartedit but getting the below error:

"You may be trying to edit a component whose component type is not supported, that you do not have permission for, or that has no editable attributes."

I tried to find the reason for this and got to know from one of the answer in community that cmsStructureTypeBlacklistSet contains list of component which cannot be edited

https://answers.sap.com/questions/12772144/how-to-enable-cms-component-to-be-editable-in-smar.html

can anyone explain what is the use of cmsStructureTypeBlacklistSet and why it is required?

Why the common components such as banner component is added in this list?

Quick response will be highly appreciating.

Thanks

Yes i removed from the black list (

/bin/ext-content/cmsfacades/resources/config/cmsfacades-structuretypes-generic-blacklist-spring.xml) and i can edit it now.

These are legacy components, they will still work if they are removed from the blacklisting.

In general, newer components (such as ResponsiveBanner) should be used.

Yes that is extremely strange. Banner components are used for embedding images on all sorts of content pages. It's one of the most used/edited components in the old cms cockpit.
