Custom component with extended type does not update content value

[ptt-joaoferreira]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new component by extending the "core" type text so I am abre to freely edit text on canvas but using my custom traits.
When I update the textbox in canvas, the HTML get's updates aswell.
When I use in traits ...getSelected().set('content', 'whatever); the value in canvas disappears and html doesn't get updated.
This behaviour just happens when I am extending in the new type. If I remove that extend, the canvas works as expected but, I am unable to edit the text.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks

don't use content, update directly the inner components

But in this case, I don't have any components inside the compontent itself. Unless that, when you extend, you pass an inner component to the current one, wich find does not catch.

domComponents.addType("txt", { extend: "text", model: { defaults: { (...)

whis is how I am extending.

@artf sorry to tag you but I really could use some help

What I'm suggesting is doing this component.components('whatever') instead of component.set('content', 'whatever')
