Cms: Get standard uid for preview target

[ryanpcmcquen]

I have a preview target like this:

@previewUrl/live-preview/fooBar/{uid}

Instead of giving me the uid of the entry, I am getting some weird uid (maybe the uid of the draft). Is there a way to get the standard uid?

Yeah, it’s the draft’s. Change to {sourceUid} and it will return the real entry UID.

@brandonkelly, thanks! Is that documented anywhere?

[brandonkelly]

It is now :)

If you want to include the entry’s ID or UID in a preview target URL, use {sourceId} or {sourceUid} rather than {id} or {uid}, so the source entry’s ID or UID is used rather than the draft’s.
