Adding custom data source to multilist with search field not working

Question

After creating a class to get desired sorted items to populate list, after making sure to type in the source correctly in the source field as code:namespace.classname, assemblyname , still results didn't come up as expected, any idea what am i missing ? is there is any config files to be added for the class for example?

Answer 1

The article you are following is working with the Multilist field, not with the Multilist with Search.

I have checked this using this class.

namespace TEST.Foundation.Common.CustomSitecore
{
    public class Multilist: IDataSource
    {
        public Item[] ListQuery(Item item)
        {
            item = SitecoreData.Context.ContentDatabase.GetItem("/sitecore/content/Home");
        return item.Axes.GetDescendants().ToArray();
        }
    }
}

Here is what I used in Sitecore
