Description Dirk Wiesenthal univentionstaff 2025-03-28 14:19:15 CET 
For UCS 5.2

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #58129 +++

If we have a multi value complex syntax, which includes not just string, but also boolean, the MultiInput is rendered with TextBox and CheckBox.

If you have, say, one actual (complex) value on the object and you want to change this one value, UMC will send two values: The actual value and an empty one. Why? Because out of convenience, we always render one more widget group per multi value attribute. And this second, empty widget group is used. Normally, we filter empty values out of the request.

But the CheckBox value does not evaluate to false. Because only an empty string is considered "empty".

Comment 3 Christian Castens univentionstaff 2025-03-31 08:54:13 CEST 
OK: advisory
OK: saving empty multiInput complex syntax values that contain booleans no longer causes errors (tested in the UMC user module with the oxDeputyPermissions extended attribute from ox-connector 2.3.0)
