Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a page in a content provider.
  2. Drag and drop the page into a ContentArea.
  3. Move the page from the content provider to the normal tree.
  4. Refresh the page with the content area.

Expected: Page is visible in content area
Actual: Page is not visible in content area

Note: After this fix, only the GUID is stored in the database for ContentArea, similar to the way that other properties reference content. If content was moved before applying this fix, you must manually clean the HTML attribute "data-contentlink" from the database for properties of type ContentArea (see column LongString in tblContentProperty and tblWorkContentProperty). Export/import or re-saving content also solves the problem.
