Can't edit content of XML with empty tag

[jasoncslaughter]

I have an xml document that includes empty tags:

<dataStatistics>
  <statistic></statistic>
<dataStatistics>

I have specified in the settings that the content of <statistics> should be settable (at least if I understand correctly).

elements: {
   "statistic": {
      asker: Xonomy.askString,
      menu: [
         {
             caption: "Delete this <statistic>",
             action: Xonomy.deleteElement
         }
       ]
   }
}

In the editor, the <statistic> tag appears as <statistic/>, and there appears no way to add text content inside of it.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Here is a workaround I just came up with until this is sorted correctly.

var stdMenu = [
			{
				caption: "Make Null",
				action: function(htmlID, actionParameter) {
					Xonomy.editRaw(htmlID, actionParameter);
				},
				actionParameter: {
					fromJs: function(jsElement) {
						return "<" + jsElement.name + " />";
					},
					toXml: function(txt, origElement) {
						return txt;
					}
				}
			},
			{
				caption: "Make ?",
				action: function(htmlID, actionParameter) {
					Xonomy.editRaw(htmlID, actionParameter);
				},
				actionParameter: {
					fromJs: function(jsElement) {
						return "<" + jsElement.name + ">?</" + jsElement.name + ">";
					},
					toXml: function(txt, origElement) {
						return txt;
					}
				}
			}
		];

var docSpec = {
  elements: {
     "MessageID": { oneliner: true, menu: stdMenu }
  }
}

Now when you "click" on the element name it will pop open this standard menu and use the inbuilt "editRaw" function to set the contents of the element.

@rexrhino You should set hasText:true for the statistics element.
