Hi there @deanleigh!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

Duplicate of #16372 ?

[deanleigh]

I think it is the same but I am seeing the columns at 6 columns by default.
So even changing a single column from 6 to 12 and save it goes back to 6.

Hi both 👋 thanks for reaching out!

We are already working on the column issue with the block grid, so I will close this as duplicate 🙂

Hi everyone, this issue is related to the configuration of the area sizes in the block grid configuration, whereas #16372 concerns saving content blocks with varying sizes. I would reopen this issue to address both problems, even though they might be overlapping.

Hi @deanleigh

Thanks for reporting this, I have checked your case with latest code base, thats v.14.1. and here it is working.

Just to be sure my approach that is working is the following:

• Create a Document Type,
• Append a Property with a DataType of Block Grid Editor with two Block Types.
• Block Type A, is allowed in the root and has two areas.
• Block Type B, is allowed in areas and is configured for 4 different column spans, 3,6,9,12.
• Create a Document of that type
• Create Block Type A
• Create two Block Type Bs inside Block Type A.
• Resize the Blocks so they become ColumnSpan 3 and thereby fits next to eachother.
• Save it
• And verify that document was saved.

Hey @nielslyngsoe that sounds like the same steps so great news if that is fixed

[huwred]

I'm not sure this is fixed, or a different issue. but if you just add a block element and give it allow in root and two areas of say size 8 and 4, then save. The block element just defaults back to 2 6 column areas

Thanks, @huwred, I will re-open this to investigate.
