Does Container Node on Title Bar in Application Layout work - xpages

Question

I'm using the Application Layout control, and on the Title Bar, I'm adding a Container Node with 2 (or more) children Basic Nodes, although I have tried several other children types for experimentation purposes. The label for the container node is displayed on the page, but none of the functionality of a container node is present. The same container node works as expected in the banner, place bar, and footer, but not in the Title Bar.
Is this a bug or is there another setup step I need to take?
Are there any workarounds to get this to work in the Title Bar?

Answer 1

This is a bug one why or another. Usually only tabs are placed here so it is either that container nodes aren't supported here and they should be removed as an option to developers to add them to the TitleBar, or that the container node just doesn't work in the Title Bar.
I've logged 'PHAN9FDDFX' to track this issue regardless of the outcome.

Answer 2

Never tried it the way described by you; I always put the tree nodes directly into the titleBarTabs, as it's done in the Extlib demo database:
<xe:this.titleBarTabs>
<xe:pageTreeNode page="Core_Home" selection="/Core/.*" label="Core">
</xe:pageTreeNode>
<xe:pageTreeNode page="Domino_Home" selection="/Domino/.*" label="Domino">
</xe:pageTreeNode>
<xe:pageTreeNode page="DWA_Home" selection="/DWA/.*" label="iNotes">
</xe:pageTreeNode>
<xe:pageTreeNode loaded="false" page="iWidget_Home" selection="/iWidget/.*" label="iWidget">
</xe:pageTreeNode>
<xe:pageTreeNode page="Mobile_Home" selection="/Mobile/.*" label="Mobile">
</xe:pageTreeNode>
<xe:pageTreeNode page="OneUI_Home" selection="/OneUI/.*" label="OneUI">
</xe:pageTreeNode>
<xe:pageTreeNode page="REST_Home" selection="/REST/.*" label="REST">
</xe:pageTreeNode>
</xe:this.titleBarTabs>
Hope that helps
