    How to pass complex model to SurfaceAction

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 9

    Hi

    Umbraco 13 and in a view I have a hyperlink. I'm trying to pass in some data from this view to a controller (surface controller)

    The model is

    Public Customer MCustomer
{
   public string FreeText {get; set;}
   public CustomModel Custom {get; set;}
}

    In my view I add 

    <a href="@Url.SurfaceAction("myMethod", "CustomSurface", new MCustomer{CustomModel = new CustomModel {propOne="hello"}, FreeText= "this is free text"})"> Test</a>

    In this scenario the free text content comes through but the custom model doesn't? Why and how can I resolve this?

    Thanks

    Hey Keith, update your model class like below 

    public class MyViewModel
{
    public string FreeText { get; set; }
    public CustomModel Custom { get; set; }
}

    and bind your values to the model object like below in the razor view

    @{
    var myModel = new MyViewModel
    {
        FreeText = "this is free text",
        Custom = new CustomModel { propOne = "hello" }
    };
}

    and finally call your anchor tag element with method name, controller name and data object model

    <a href="@Url.SurfaceAction("myMethod", "CustomSurface", myModel)">Test</a>
