[IgnorePropertyType] doesn't work as expected

Hi @tatevmkrtchyan

Could you share some examples of your code? In case there is a bug in the package, could you specify exact versions of Umbraco and this package?

Anyways - it seems to work fine when I test, but the attribute is case sensitive - meaning you have the specify the property alias, not the property name. IIRC this aligns with what the old models builder for Umbraco 8 did, but one could argue that it should be case insensitive - hence #17.

Models with inheritance or compositions can also be a bit tricky, so if a property is inherited, you need to add the attribute to the model that declares the property.

Hope that makes sense 😉

Hi @abjerner,

Thank you for your response, in my application

• Umbraco.Cms version is 12.0.1,
• Limbo.Umbraco.ModelsBuilder version is 2.0.4

I am using those configs for model builder
"ModelsBuilder": {
"ModelsMode": "Nothing",
"FlagOutOfDateModels": true,
"AcceptUnsafeModelsDirectory": true,
"ModelsDirectory": "~/../Models/Generated/"
}

In Models.Generated namespace I added the generation rules in this way:

using Limbo.Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.Attributes;

namespace Models.Generated
{
[IgnorePropertyType("allowedGroup")]
public partial class PersonalLink
{
}

[IgnorePropertyType("image")]
[IgnorePropertyType("searchBar")]
public partial class ArticleOverview
{
}

[IgnorePropertyType("allowedGroups")]
public partial class WebComponent
{
}

[IgnorePropertyType("buttons")]
public partial class NotificationWebComponent
{
}
...

}

The models are getting generated in the subfolders of /Models/Generated/ folder and with those namespaces:
Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.PublishedModels.Elements
Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.PublishedModels.Compositions
Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.PublishedModels.Content.Compositions, etc.

Without ignoring any property.

I also tried to write the generation rules in those two namespaces
Models.Generated.Elements
and
Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.PublishedModels.Elements
Again I didn't get the expected result.

I can provide more details if needed, please let me know what else I should do to fix the issue.

Best regards,
Tate

Hi @tatevmkrtchyan

Can you share some examples from the generated partials? Of possibly how the content types look in the backoffice?

From what I can tell, you're using the attributes correctly. But like mentioned earlier, there could be things like compositions that come into play as well, but I can't really see whether that is the case from the provided information.
