AEM Forms Adaptative Table column binding syntax

I created a table in an Adaptative Form. This table is dynamic. So any number of rows can be added from 0 to 10. The table row is repeatable with these values. And when sent, is generating an array of empty elements. The row bind reference is, let's say, "/mytable/rows"

 

rows: [

  {},

  {},

  ...

]

 

I'd like to know what syntax has to be used in each of the column fields to bind them inside each element of the rows array.

What I expect to achieve is:

 

rows: [

  { col1: "aaaa" },

  { col1: "bbbb" },

  ...

]

 

So far I've tried with:

"col1"

".col1"

"./col1"

"/col1"

 

Does anyone knows the specific syntax to bind the field of a column inside this object?

 

Thanks.

Hi @ndresgarc ,
You are using table, so I am assuming you are using foundation component based Adaptive Form. [1]
In the example you stated repeatable row has bind reference /mytable/rows, so your cell in that row should have bind reference /mytable/rows/col1

Another example, if you have schema like:

{ "title": "Person with Addresses", "type": "object", "properties": { "personname": { "type": "string", "description": "The person's full name." }, "addresses": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": { "country": { "type": "string", "description": "The country of the address." } } } } } }


Then repeatable row for addresses will have bind reference /addresses with relevant repeat settings and text box inside the row will have bind reference /addresses/country
