titleLimitations

Limitations

  • For security reasons, we do not allow resolve Javascript to be resolved.

  • When you update metadata or content, the Display Patterns are updated each time Content is saved. For this reason, users will not . You don't see Display Patterns change while viewing Contentcontent.

  • Display patterns are not inherited by ChildrenChildren do not inherit display patterns from their parents. For example, you cannot set display patterns for all file types on FileMetadata. The display patterns that you do set here will take hold for any content that is a File Type content but does not belong to AudioMetadata, DocumentMetadata, ImageMetadata, VideoMetadata e.g. for a .css file.

  • Display patterns do not take permissions into account. They are pre-calculated and are not bound to user permissions. Display Patterns should therefore be optimized for your general audience and not the super admin.

  • Please avoid using Picturepark icons in HTML or CSS. Currently, material design icons are treated as fontfonts, so any CSS font styling works for icons too (e.g. color or size).  Icons will be replaced in one of the next releases which will break all icon implementations. 

  • Picturepark does not support HTML and CSS rendering is not supported for all in Display Patterns e.g. in the list views the HTML will be not interpreted and displayed as text.
