Anyone with examples or documentation on how to use the link picker modal in Umbraco 14? For one, the link picker modal is not part of

@umbraco-cms/backoffice/modal

like most other modals. I've found old'ish examples to indicate that it may have been (might have been the pre-reeleases), but its not in 14.1.0. I haven't found other references for it in the import map, so currently I'm importing this directly. Which feels a bit wrong - e.g. there is no cache busting in the URL.

js
import { UMB_LINK_PICKER_MODAL } from "/umbraco/backoffice/packages/multi-url-picker/link-picker-modal/link-picker-modal.token.js";

The modal also still feels a bit incomplete. The modal with is currently

small

, but I'd say it should be

medium

to give some more horizontal space. This is general for the modal, but especially around the URL and query string inputs being on the same line. Ideally the query string field should be shown below the URL field. When picking a content or media node, the title field isn't populated. But entering a value in the title field after having selected an node, the returned link object will only contain the

name

property, meaning the

type

,

unique

and

url

properties are lost. Similar if picking a node and then entering a value in the query string field, only the

queryString

property is returned. The

url

property will also just be the GUID key, and not an actual URL. In previous versions of Umbraco, the URL would be resolved before picking the node. https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/16596 describes a part of this, but I haven't been able to find other issues about this. Someone from HQ that can shed a bit of light on the status of the link picker modal? Is it still being worked on, or should I create an issue to bring attention to the issue?

The

UMB_LINK_PICKER_MODAL

token will be available as an export in 14.2.0 (RC due in 2 weeks). As for the status of the modal, some of us are aware of the missing features, its on our radar, but if you do raise an issue about these concerns, it could bring some priority to it. 🙏

Great 👍 I'll look into creating an issue 😉
