Block in block list inline mode no longer render properties

[bjarnef]

Which Umbraco version are you using?

16.3.4

Bug summary

It seems something recently broke rendering of blocks in block list inline mode?

Recently we had links blocks rendered inline, but it seems these no longer render.

In console I see a few errors.

At least it worked in 16.2.0
#20404

It is worth mentioning the block has properties directly under a single tab.

Specifics

No response

Steps to reproduce

Add a block list using inline mode and noticed expanding block doesn't render properties.

Expected result / actual result

No response

Hi there @bjarnef!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

I wonder if it may be related to this change in 16.3.0: #20102

or some of the refactoring in #19970 or #19255 as I don't see content inside umb-block-workspace-view-edit-tab.

It will be great if https://backofficepreview.umbraco.com/ also cover Block List as inline mode.

@nielslyngsoe have you noticed this behavior recently? It is not an issue in non-inline mode and may only be an issue when element type contain tabs.

@bjarnef @nielslyngsoe I also encountered this and it seems Tabs no longer work, when moving properties into a Group only (so not inside a Tab at all) it works again... Would be great if this can be fixed.

Hi @bjarnef & @PerplexDaniel

Yes, to be right, I have not, but others have; it has been fixed for 16.4. I see that it is not of much help on v.16.3. — Sounds like a regression then. But the 16.4 is ust around the corner, so maybe you are okay upgrading to 16.4?
https://releases.umbraco.com/release/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/16.4.0

Was reported here:
#20618
and got fixed here:
#20745

I will close the issue with that, though. Thanks for the issue.

I will make sure we get some acceptance tests written for this part.

And @bjarnef if you like, Inline Editing mode could be added to the preview site. The preview site is running the Mock data of the Client, so make a PR for that :-)
