The member picker opens a panel to pick a specific member from the member section. The value saved is of type IPublishedContent.

MVC View Example
Without Models Builder
@{
if (Model.HasValue("author"))
{
var member = Model.Value<IPublishedContent>("author");
@member.Name
}
}
With Models Builder
@{
if (Model.Author != null)
{
var member = Model.Author;
@member.Name
}
}
Add values programmatically
The example below demonstrates how to add values programmatically using a Razor view. However, this is used for illustrative purposes only and is not the recommended method for production environments.
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services
@inject IContentService ContentService
@{
// Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");
// Get the page using the GUID you've defined
var content = ContentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page
// Create a variable for the GUID of the member ID
var authorId = Guid.Parse("ed944097281e4492bcdf783355219450");
// Set the value of the property with alias 'author'.
content.SetValue("author", authorId);
// Save the change
ContentService.Save(content);
}
Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:
@{
// Get the page using it's id
var content = ContentService.GetById(1234);
}
If Models Builder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PublishedCache
@inject IPublishedContentTypeCache PublishedContentTypeCache
@{
// Set the value of the property with alias 'author'
content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(PublishedContentTypeCache, x => x.Author).Alias, udi);
}
See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the .
