Possible to show StaticAlias entities when editing PageContent?#8294

Unanswered

Hello,

After upgrading CMS from 3.11 to 4.1.7, a big change we noticed is StaticAlias not being shown in right-side menu with plugins, when editing PageContent for a page that is using that given StaticAlias (e.g. alias "menu" in a "homepage" PageContent).

  1. Is it possible / planned to turn this funcionality on again?
    We saw that plugins of a StaticAlias object can only be changed in it's separate view.

Also, our homepage contains several aliases that are correctly being rendered, however after changing to Edit mode on the page, they disappear and only PageContent itself is visible while editing it's plugins.
After publishing / exiting Edit mode, aliases are correctly rendered again.
2.Is this expected behavior?

Thank you for any answers or insights in advance.

Hi@luboSB-47 — we ran into something similar when upgrading from 3.x to 4.x.

Yes, this seems to be an intentional change in howStaticAlias behaves in Django CMS 4+. From what I understand:

  • In CMS 4, aliases are treated asstandalone plugin containers, so their editing is now decoupled from the mainPageContent editing view.
  • This means you won't see them in the right-hand plugin sidebar during page editing — even if they're rendered on the page — because they're no longer considered part of the local page structure.

This new design helps enforce better reuse and version control of aliases across multiple pages — but yes, it does feel like a change from earlier behavior.

✅ Quick Tip: You can still edit the alias content viaStructure > Aliases, and those updates will reflect across all pages using that alias after publish.

I’m not sure if there's a setting to restore the old editing behavior, but I’d love to hear from core maintainers if a toggle exists.

Hope that helps a bit!
