Problem with primaryClientAction for choice controls

Question

I have a large UIX based application based on templates. Now what I need to do is support partial page rendering using the primaryClientAction tag for any type of control e.g. textInput, checkBox, datePickeer and also choice.
So what we are going to do is use our existing templates for all the basic controls and add the child tags for the client action:
<fti:dropDown selectedValue="test" data:options="test@fti:domValues" name="test" id="test">
<primaryClientAction>
<firePartialAction event="submit" formSubitted="true" targets="test2 test3"/>
</primaryClientAction>
</fti:dropDown>
the template for fti:dropDown looks like that:
<list>
     <attributeMap><rootAttributeMap/></attributeMap>
     <childMap><rootChildMap/></childMap>
     <contents data:childData="options@ui:rootAttr">
     <option data:text="text" data:value="value" data:selected="selected"/>
     </contents>
</list>
Now this primaryClientAction tag is ignored by uix. Interestingly the same code works fine for all other controls (e.g datePicker, textInput, checkBox) only for <list>, <choice>, <messageList> etc. it does not work.
Now my question:
How is this primaryClientAction tag meant to be used with uix templates - how can I pass it into the template?
What can I do about this?

Answer 1

ok I found the problem - in my template it said:
<type base="ui:choice">
In this case the primaryCleintAction child is not parsed.
thanks
