MVC View Example

Without Modelsbuilder

@{
if (Model.Value<string[]>("keyFeatureList").Length > 0)
{
<ul>
@foreach (var item in Model.Value<string[]>("keyFeatureList"))
{
<li>@item</li>
}
</ul>
}
}

With Modelsbuilder

@{
if (Model.KeyFeatureList.Any())
{
<ul>
@foreach (var item in Model.KeyFeatureList)
{
<li>@item</li>
}
</ul>
}
}

Add values programmatically

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 Content Service.
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services;
@inject IContentService Services;
@{
// Get access to ContentService
var contentService = Services;
// Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
var guid = new Guid("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");
// Get the page using the GUID you've defined
var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page
// Set the value of the property with alias 'keyFeatureList'
content.SetValue("keyFeatureList", "Awesome" + Environment.NewLine + "Super");
// Save the change
contentService.Save(content);
}
To add multiple values to the repeatable text strings property editor you have to put each value on a new line. This can be achieved using either \r\n\ or Environment.NewLine.
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 Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PublishedCache;
@inject IPublishedSnapshotAccessor _publishedSnapshotAccessor;
@{
// Set the value of the property with alias 'keyFeatureList'
content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(_publishedSnapshotAccessor, x => x.KeyFeatureList).Alias, "Awesome" + Environment.NewLine + "Super");
}
