BlockGroup fields are not initialized on load

[tidyui]

This means that when adding new fields to existing Block Groups the fields are not initialized when loading an existing group.

Hi Håkan!

Is this why my page doesn't save when my Custom BlockGroup has a field on it?

I get a console error in the browser...

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'visible' of undefined
at piranha.min.js:formatted:32301

Cheers!

If you’re getting the error saving an existing block that you’ve added fields to but not if you create a new block it’s this error.

To verify, create a new page and add the block group to it. If it saves ok then it’s the above error

Thanks Håkan,

I tried with an existing block group and the field doesn't show at all.

I then created a new page and added the block group. The field then showed, but the page wouldn't save correctly and I got the console error as outlined above. Perhaps its something wrong with my setup of the Block and BlockGroup...

When I expand out the console error it takes me to the following JS and its on the e.style.visible = !0 line where it seems to be failing...

piranha.notifications = new Vue({
    el: "#notification-hub",
    data: {
        items: []
    },
    methods: {
        push: function(e) {
            e.style = {
                visible: !1,
                "notification-info": "info" === e.type,
                "notification-danger": "danger" === e.type,
                "notification-success": "success" === e.type,
                "notification-warning": "warning" === e.type
            },
            piranha.notifications.items.push(e),
            setTimeout(function() {
                e.style.visible = !0,
                e.hide && setTimeout(function() {
                    e.style.visible = !1,
                    setTimeout(function() {
                        piranha.notifications.items.shift()
                    }, 200)
                }, 5e3)
            }, 200)
        }
    }
}),

My Block Group class is as follows

[BlockGroupType(Name = "Destination Group", Category = "DigiRooms", Icon = "fas fa-map-marker-alt")]
[BlockItemType(Type = typeof(FeaturedDestinationBlock))]
public class FeaturedDestinationBlockGroup : BlockGroup
{
    public StringField Title { get; set; }
}

and my Block class is as follows...

[BlockType(Name = "Destination", Category = "DigiRooms", Icon = "fas fa-map-marker-alt", Component = "featured-destination-block")]
public class FeaturedDestinationBlock : Block
{
    public StringField Title { get; set; }
    public StringField DestinationSlug { get; set; }
    public DateField ArrivalDate { get; set; }
    public DateField DepartureDate { get; set; }
    public NumberField NumberOfProperties { get; set; }
    public StringField LinkText { get; set; }
    public ImageField Image { get; set; }
}

The Block works fine independently of the Block Group.

The Group also works if I comment out the Title field, but not with it included

I feel like I followed the docs 100% but I still must be missing something

Many Thanks

Håkan please ignore the comment above - I solved my issue by updating Piranha.Manager to 7.0.4
