Custom UI - Best Practices

No, not the only issue. I also found an issue on my side. But even if I solve mine, it would be a problem.

What was the issue ?

I have a special type of FormArrays:

This takes a template (a factory how to construct the items) and when you setValue it calls the template to create the item forms:

I have forgotten not to set ā€˜emitEvent: falseā€™ when adding items here, causing unnecessary updates about intermediate values.

So if the initial value was [] and you have sent [{}, {}, {}] to Squidex, the iframe control was receiving the following values:

[{}]                  // Previous: [{}, {}, {}]
[{}, {}]              // Previous: [{}]
[{}, {}, {}]          // Previous: [{}, {}]

And of course each of them was different to the previous value.

Makes sense. I did receive incremental item length for array in the valueChanged event.

Could you create a bug report for the issue?

Okay. I will create one.

Hello - Will the fix be available as part of 7.4.0 release ?

@Sebastian - I see that the valueChanged event is getting fired in the latest 7.4 release. In my array there are 425 items and when I change their position using custom UI, I see valueChanged getting fired a minimum of three times.

Can you please double check ? Iā€™m checking on my side to make sure that Iā€™m indeed using 7.4 release .

Can you provide me your sample / custom editor again?

I will message you the drive link to the app.
