Fixed #19895
Problem
Calling settingsPropertyValueByAlias("alias") was always retrieving undefined. That was because the method was observing the
#contentinstead of the#settings.How to test(two ways)
Note
You don't really need to observe through the context just to access settings data. The easier way is using property decorators directly:
@property({ attribute: false }) settings?: UmbBlockDataType;This gets you straight to the settings without all the context setup.An example here: Block Custom View docs.
That said, developers might still want to use the context-based approach with settingsPropertyValueByAlias() for different reasons, or it just makes more sense for what they're building. Either way, the API should do what it says. This fix ensures that if you decide to go down the context path, observing settings by alias will actually work properly.
