[Serializable()] public class CustomSingleLineViewModel : StringInputViewModel { public string CustomAttribute { get; set; } protected override void InitItemProperties(Item item) { base.InitItemProperties(item); CustomAttribute = StringUtil.GetString(item.Fields["CustomAttribute"]); } protected override void UpdateItemFields(Item item) { base.UpdateItemFields(item); item.Fields["CustomAttribute"]?.SetValue(CustomAttribute,true); } }
