MNTP Xpath with $current doesn't work correct on site node itself

[bjarnef]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

13.5.2

Bug summary

We have a content structure as following.

In a block used on both home page and child pages, it has a category property using MNTP and the following:

Xpath: $site/settings

It select correct settings node as start node on child pages, but on home page, it just use root as start node.

Workaround is the following:

Xpath: $current/ancestor-or-self::homePage/settings or $current/ancestor-or-self::*[@level=1]/settings

I guess it is because $site is a placeholder for ancestor, but not ancestor-or-self

Hi there @bjarnef!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂
