Contentment Data picker not rendering in UI builder actions

[brannmark]

Describe the bug Datatype with a data picker in a custom UI builder action doesn't work. It does not render as supposed to.

Throw following error:

Using this code for custom action:

using Umbraco.UIBuilder.Configuration;
using Umbraco.UIBuilder.Configuration.Actions;
using Umbraco.UIBuilder.Configuration.Builders;
using Umbraco.UIBuilder.Services;
using IHostingEnvironment = Umbraco.Cms.Core.Hosting.IHostingEnvironment;

namespace MyProj.Actions.BulkActions
{
    public class TestAction : Umbraco.UIBuilder.Configuration.Actions.Action<TestActionSetting, ActionResult>
    {
        public override string Icon => "icon-edit";
        public override string Alias => "test";
        public override string Name => "Test";
        public override bool ConfirmAction => false;
        private readonly Lazy<UIBuilderConfig> _config;
        private readonly Lazy<EntityService> _entityService;
        private readonly Lazy<IHostingEnvironment> _hostingEnv;

        public TestAction(Lazy<UIBuilderConfig> config, Lazy<EntityService> entityService, Lazy<IHostingEnvironment> hostingEnv)
        {
            _config = config;
            _entityService = entityService;
            _hostingEnv = hostingEnv;
        }

        public override void Configure(SettingsConfigBuilder<TestActionSetting> settingsConfig)
        {
            settingsConfig.AddFieldset("Content", fieldsetConfig =>
            {
                fieldsetConfig.AddField(m => m.TestProperty).SetDataType("Test");
            });
        }

        public override ActionResult Execute(string collectionAlias, object[] entityIds, TestActionSetting settings)
        {
            return new ActionResult(true, new ActionNotification("Test action executed"));
        }

        public override bool IsVisible(ActionVisibilityContext ctx)
        {
            if (ctx.ActionType == ActionType.Row || ctx.ActionType == ActionType.Bulk)
            {
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        }
    }

    public class TestActionSetting
    {
        public string TestProperty { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    }
}

Hi @brannmark ,

Thank you for reporting this. Based on your feedback and Lee's comments, I have set an empty object to editorState. Normally a specific content item would go into the editorState, but hopefully version 13.0.1 addresses your situation.
