| Aug 7, 2014 at 6:32 | comment | added | Mukesh Kumar | Thanks Alvin to clarify the confusion with insert functionality in experience manager UI. Earlier confusion was if we already have ct associated with content type then I thought it should be associated when we choose option of create and insert. I am providing the complete detail around confusion with content type and functionality with experience manager in my answer of this question. Thanks for your help.. | |

There is a subtle difference in behavior between Insert and Drag-and-drop. Regions change what we should do. The documentation notes to not use Insert with regions. I figured out why in this post. Without regions, then the "first template" applies (see @PeterK's answer).

| Aug 6, 2014 at 15:04 | comment | added | Mukesh Kumar | Hi Bart, Yes, cloneable component with page type is working fine in my case too. Issue appears when I am trying to insert(either by create and insert or by adding existing component) any component from site edit UI. While I am dragging the component inside region, it is working fine and render with CT already used on the page but when there is no component available on page then it is inserting with other CT. Please suggest if I am missing something.. | |
| Aug 6, 2014 at 14:34 | comment | added | Bart Koopman | @MukeshKumar the region should be on your Page, not created or related to content being on the Page. But that is besides the point, from that what I have seen myself is that it worked fine when there was a cloneable Component directly on the Page. | |
| Aug 6, 2014 at 13:54 | comment | added | Mukesh Kumar | Hi Bart, I have Page and content type both in my publication. My content type also have the correct CT(A). But when we opt option to create and insert content it insert the content with wrong CT(B). This wrong CT is 1st CT which have linked schema same as my component schema. I think this is the issue with experience manager insert content option.When I created a region on the page and drag the component to region then it insert the component with correct CT. But unfortunately when I remove all the content from page then region disappear and then dragging component cause wrong CT appearing. | |
