smart edit can't add new item to custom component

[Former Member]

I want to add a new item from smart edit to my custom component but when I save the changes the item disappears. The item was created beacause I can add it from backoffice but not from smart edit. I try the same in other projects and it works successfully, maybe, because the components are OOTB and mine is customized.

I can't remove any item neither. The same thing happens,it seems like it works but when I save the changes there are no changes

There are no errors in terminal and we're using Hybris 18.08

Any suggestion?

Hi ,

The issue probably exists due to cmsfacades used by SmartEdit are unaware of how to convert your custom item. I would propose to debug a bit starting from de.hybris.platform.cmsfacades.cmsitems.impl.DefaultCMSItemFacade#saveItem

Probably the issue exists due to de.hybris.platform.cmsfacades.uniqueidentifier.UniqueItemIdentifierService can't convert your item from data to model and vice versa. Please take a look at de.hybris.platform.cmsfacades.uniqueidentifier.UniqueIdentifierConverter and implement a brand new one for your custom itemtype to be used in component. Hope this helps.

Hi Mykola, Thank you for your comment, we found the problem. The problem was the relation, we changed collentionType = "set" to ordered = "true" and it worked

 <sourceElement type="SimpleCMSComponent" qualifier="component" cardinality="one"/>
             <targetElement type="customComponent2items" qualifier="items" cardinality="many" collectionType="set"/>
         </relation>
 
             <sourceElement type="SimpleCMSComponent" qualifier="component" cardinality="one"/>
             <targetElement type="customComponent2items" qualifier="items" cardinality="many" ordered="true"/>
         </relation>
