Summary

Closes #34724

  • Routes edit-host and create-host custom events through the feature-flag-aware editor selection logic, matching how edit-contentlet and create-contentlet already work
  • When New Edit Mode is enabled for the Host content type, Sites Portlet entry points (Add Site, Click site, Right-click → Edit) now open the new Angular editor instead of always falling back to the legacy editor
  • When the flag is NOT enabled, behavior remains unchanged (legacy editor)

Changes

dot-custom-event-handler.service.ts — Replaced hardcoded legacy editor bindings for edit-host and create-host with conditional bindings that check the contentEditorFeatureFlag, identical to the pattern used for edit-contentlet/create-contentlet.

dot-custom-event-handler.service.spec.ts — Added 6 test cases covering:

  • edit-host → new editor (catchall + limited content types)
  • create-host → new editor (catchall + limited content types)
  • edit-host → legacy fallback when metadata flag disabled
  • create-host → legacy fallback when metadata flag disabled

Test plan

  • Enable New Edit Mode for Host content type via feature flag
  • Sites Portlet → Add Site → Start with blank site → verify new editor opens
  • Sites Portlet → Click on any site → verify new editor opens
  • Sites Portlet → Right-click → Edit → verify new editor opens
  • Disable New Edit Mode → verify all three entry points open the legacy editor
  • All 1966 unit tests pass, 0 lint errors

…eature flag is enabled #34724

The edit-host and create-host custom events were hardcoded to always use
the legacy editor, bypassing the New Edit Mode feature flag check. This
caused the Sites Portlet to always open Host content types in the old
editor even when New Edit Mode was enabled.

Now both events follow the same feature-flag-aware routing as
edit-contentlet and create-contentlet, checking content type metadata
before deciding which editor to use.

Analysis Summary:

Reviewed the changes to align Host Content Type behavior between New and Old Edit Mode. Found one potential issue that should be addressed:

Issues Found:

⚠️ Potential Type Safety Issue in dot-custom-event-handler.service.ts:83-88:

'edit-host': contentEditorFeatureFlag
    ? this.editContentlet.bind(this)
    : this.editContentletLegacy.bind(this),
'create-host': contentEditorFeatureFlag
    ? this.createContentlet.bind(this)
    : this.createContentletLegacy.bind(this)

Problem: The editContentlet and createContentlet methods expect event data to include a contentType field ($event.detail.data.contentType), but host events from the Sites Portlet may not always provide this field in the expected format.

Risk: If host events don't include the contentType field, this could cause:

  • dotContentTypeService.getContentType(undefined) calls
  • Runtime errors in the conditional logic
  • Fallback to legacy editor even when new editor should be used

Recommendation: Add defensive checks in the editContentlet/createContentlet methods to handle missing contentType fields, or ensure host events always include the contentType: 'Host' field.

Test Coverage:

✅ New test cases properly cover both feature flag enabled/disabled scenarios for both edit-host and create-host events
✅ Tests validate routing to new editor vs legacy fallback
✅ Test setup correctly mocks the content type metadata flags

Code Quality:

✅ Changes follow established patterns used for edit-contentlet/create-contentlet
✅ Conditional logic is consistent and readable
✅ No security concerns identified

Edge Cases to Consider:

  • Host events without contentType field (mentioned above)
  • Host content type with mixed metadata flag settings
  • Race conditions during feature flag initialization

Overall: Clean implementation following established patterns, but verify host event data structure to prevent potential runtime issues.

…tent type variable

The JSP iframe fires edit-host/create-host events without a contentType
field in the data payload. The generic editContentlet/createContentlet
methods read contentType from the event, resulting in
getContentType(undefined) and a 404 error.

Added dedicated editHost and createHost methods that always pass 'Host'
as the content type variable to getContentType, then route accordingly.
Updated tests to match realistic event payloads from the JSP iframe.

Issues Found:

⚠️ Logic Error in Handler Binding in dot-custom-event-handler.service.ts:83-88:

'edit-host': contentEditorFeatureFlag
    ? this.editHost.bind(this)      // ❌ Should be this.editContentlet.bind(this) 
    : this.editContentletLegacy.bind(this),
'create-host': contentEditorFeatureFlag
    ? this.createHost.bind(this)    // ❌ Should be this.createContentlet.bind(this)
    : this.createContentletLegacy.bind(this)

Problem: The code binds to dedicated editHost/createHost methods instead of the generic editContentlet/createContentlet methods, but these new methods hardcode 'Host' as the content type instead of reading it from the event data.

Risk: This creates inconsistent behavior:

  • edit-contentlet reads contentType from event: $event.detail.data.contentType
  • edit-host ignores event data, hardcodes 'Host'

Other Issues:

  • The new editHost/createHost methods duplicate logic that already exists in editContentlet/createContentlet
  • Code violates DRY principle - same routing logic implemented twice

Recommendation: Remove the dedicated editHost/createHost methods and bind directly to editContentlet/createContentlet like the comment in the PR description suggests. The generic methods can handle Host content types if the event data includes contentType: 'Host'.

Test Coverage:

✅ Tests adequately cover both feature flag scenarios
✅ Tests validate routing to new vs legacy editor
❌ Tests don't verify the actual content type being fetched - they mock the service response

Edge Cases:

  • Host events without contentType field in event data
  • Race conditions during feature flag initialization
  • Mixed metadata flag settings for Host content type

Verdict: The implementation doesn't match the PR description. The code should use the existing generic methods rather than creating Host-specific duplicates.

… new content #34724

The backend endpoint /api/v1/workflow/initialactions/contenttype/Host
explicitly returns an empty array for Host content types
(WorkflowAPIImpl.java:2686-2692). This causes the new edit content form
to show "Select Workflow" instead of auto-assigning the single available
workflow.

Added a fallback in initializeNewContent: if getDefaultActions
(initialactions) returns empty, it falls back to getWorkFlowActions
(defaultactions) which does return the correct workflow schemes.
