Customizing filters under Forms & Documents section

Hello AEM Community,

 

I have a requirement to customize the filters that show under the admin rail under Forms. I am able to override these by creating a copy of the folder structure from /libs to /apps. But these does not seem to perform a resource merger and instead acts as an override. Is there any recommendation around how I could go about making this update without breaking the inheritance from /libs.

 

 

 

 

Thanks

Narendra

Hi @narendragandhi What you’re seeing (no merge, only override) is expected when you 1:1 copy /libs nodes for components or completely redefine the console node in /apps.For Granite‑based consoles (including Forms admin rails), the supported, upgrade‑safe pattern is:-

-Skeleton overlay under /apps,

-Then use Sling Resource Merger properties to hide, add, or reorder filter nodes.

 

For component dialogs/predicates themselves, use sling:resourceSuperType‑based overrides instead of path‑overlays.
