Did someone manage to use proper placeholder settings for these sxa composite components? I am asking because of the accordion, I want to limit the usage to specific components that can be placed into an accordion item. The placeholders look like "/main/section-content-1-2" There is a chapter about known limitations for dynamic placeholders, that clearly states that placeholder settings will only work with the initial key:

https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/90/sitecore-experience-management/en/dynamic-placeholders.html

So did someone already found a nice workaround for that?

  • We are using sitecore 8.2 and recently added SXA sites. The existing site has a dynamic placeholder setting "section-content*", which stopped working after we added SXA sites. When I looked for "section-content" in website folder, I see some placeholders "@Html.Sitecore().Placeholder("section-content")" added as part of SXA installation. I have realized there is a name conflict and that's the reason components do not save on this placeholder in the existing site. If I decide to rename the SXA PH, I don't understand the impact it might have. I need your suggestion. Thanks.

The article you've mentioned is for platform Dynamic Placeholders. SXA is not using them, we have our own version.

Try creating placeholder settings item with the following key: section-content-* (or section-content*). The * is to make a placeholder dynamic and guarantee a uniqueness to the placeholder key across different renderings.
