Re: [xwiki-users] class database list property should be empty when creating document

Hi Guillaume, man thanx for your reply. Apparently something inside my XWiki instance is broke. As I wanted to try what you suggest I found that any new class I define with a DBListProperty has that "blank" line missing :-( As I said before, the already existing objects still have it when editing

The question now is, where the blank line is actually coming from, i.e. where in XWiki's architecture does it get inserted. Maybe the issue can easily be fixed? Cheers, Sebastian On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 11:35 AM, Guillaume Lerouge <guillaume(a)xwiki.com>
