Update Behavior

The update logic of this widget accepts a payload, which is a string or a JSON element. In case the value of the payload is a string, the value will be used to update the content in the model. When the language in the model model is set to json, the widget tries to convert the string into a JSON element. In case the JSON conversion fails, the initial payload string value will be used to update the content in the model.

When the payload is a JSON object, the widget uses the fields content and language to update the fields in the model accordingly. In case the payload does not contain the content field, the JSON object in the payload will be used to update the content in the model. When the content field in the payload is a string and the language field in the model or payload is set to json, the widget tries to convert the value of the content in the payload to a JSON element.
