Django-cms: CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF doesn't limit the child plugins...

Created on 30 Jan 2018 · 3Comments · Source: django-cms/django-cms

e.g.:

CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF = {
    "content": {
        "name": _("Content"),
        "plugins": ["FooPlugin"],
    },
}

#...

class FooPlugin(CMSPluginBase):
    allow_children = True
    child_classes = ["BarPlugin"]

The user can only add FooPlugin to the "content" placeholder. That's ok.
But after adding FooPlugin, he can add the BarPlugin as FooPlugin child ...

I expected that adding the child would not work and the plugin list doesn't contain the BarPlugin because it's not in the CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF["content"]["plugins"]

Is this a bug or "by design" ?

If this is "by design" than a note should be added to the docs [1], isn't it?
