Do not render checkbox only works in Field loops

Hi,

 

Working with 9.4.18 we have a product custom field where "Do not render" is checked.

 

We noticed this is working accurately in the GetLoop("CustomFieldValues"), but if I request that tag directly (outside of the loop - by using GetString("Ecom:Product:Field.MyCustomField")) it will always render. Is this the expected behavior? Or should it not render anything?

 

The documentation is not explicit one way or the other, but when I read it I undestand it should not render the value.

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

According to the rendering code, it does not get rendered:

If customFieldValue.ProductField.DoNotRender Then
   Return
End If

It is by the way, the same method that renders both fields... (inside/outside the loop)

Hi Nicolai,

 

Yeah, I can see it repro now. It seems to have an aggressive caching though. I was expecting to see changes im my product detail template by changing the checkbox status, saving and refreshing my frontend. That did not happen.

 

Is this by design? I just need to understand to set the right expectation on developers and customers and know which steps to take to check settings when they are changed.

 

Best Regards,
