LabelList: CONTENTTYPE="SECTION" does not work in XML

I am trying to create sections in a LabelList. Sections are created alright when I do it in init() method in BrightScript code like


m.settingsListContent = CreateObject("RoSGNode", "ContentNode")

m.settingsTree = {
	"General": ["Subtitles"],
	"Video Content": [],
	"Social Media": [],
	"Exit": []
}

m.sections = {}
for each section in m.settingsTree
	m.sections[section] = m.settingsListContent.createChild("ContentNode")
	m.sections[section].contenttype = "section"
	m.sections[section].title = section
	for each item in m.settingsTree[section]
		sectionItem = m.sections[section].createChild("ContentNode")
		sectionItem.title = item
	end for
end for

m.settingsList.content = m.settingsListContent

But when I try to do something similar from XML, it does not work. XML is as follows


<children>
		<LabelList id="settingsList">
			<ContentNode role="content">
				<ContentNode contenttype="section" title="General">
					<ContentNode title="Subtitles" />
				</ContentNode>
				
				<ContentNode contenttype="section" title="Video Content">
					
				</ContentNode>
				
				<ContentNode contenttype="section" title="Social Media">
					
				</ContentNode>
				
				<ContentNode contenttype="section" title="Exit">
					
				</ContentNode>
				
			</ContentNode>
		</LabelList>
	</children>

I get the below error and ContentNode is treated as item ContentNode instead of section ContentNode.


Type mismatch occurred when setting the "contenttype" field of a "ContentNode" node at line 23 of file pkg:/components/settingslistpanel.xml

Why “contenttype” is not accepted is XML but is accepted in BrightScript?

I just ran into the same thing. Seems like a bug in BS.
