Hi @ashwinka ,

1. Override the Client Library:

  • Create a new client library with a unique category name within the proxy component's folder.
  • Copy the JavaScript file you want to modify from the core component's client library to your new client library.
  • Make the necessary changes to the JavaScript files within your new client library.

2. Include the Proxy Client Library:

  • Create a nt:unstructured node with name cq:dialog and add property extraClientLibs. The value of this property should the proxy component clientLib category. Basically now your are overriding core component clientLib with your custom clientlib.

     if the above solution doesnt works just change extraClientLibs to extraClientlibs.

    Hi @ashwinka 

    Create a Clientlib Folder:
    Create a new folder for your custom client library. For example, you can create a folder named /apps/myproject/clientlibs/imageoverride.

    Create a JavaScript File:
    Inside the client library folder, create a new JavaScript file that contains your custom code. For example, you can create a file named custom-image.js.
    /apps/myproject/clientlibs/imageoverride/custom-image.js
    Create a Clientlib Configuration:
    Create a cq:ClientLibraryFolder node to define your client library and include your custom JavaScript file.
    /apps/myproject/clientlibs/imageoverride/.content.xml
    Add Dependency in Your Component:
    Open the /apps/myproject/components/content/image/.content.xml file and add a dependency to your client library.

    After completing these steps, your custom JavaScript (custom-image.js) will be loaded when the page containing your overridden component is rendered. Ensure that the changes in custom-image.js meet your requirements.

    Thanks.

      To override the core component's JavaScript file, you can follow these steps:

      Create a custom folder structure:
      Create a custom folder structure in your project to override the core component's JavaScript file. For example, you can create a new folder structure under /apps/myproject to store your custom files.

      Copy the core component's JavaScript file:
      Copy the JavaScript file of the corresponding core component from the /libs directory to your custom folder structure. In your case, you need to copy /libs/wcm/core/components/image/v3/image/clientlibs/editor/js/image.js to /apps/myproject/components/content/image/clientlibs/editor/js/.

      Modify the JavaScript file:
      Make the necessary modifications in the copied JavaScript file, such as changing the field names or other content.

      Override the original file using client library inclusion:
      Use client library inclusion to point to your custom JavaScript file and override the original core component's JavaScript file. You can specify the client library in your component configuration or directly reference it in your page template.

      By following this approach, you can override the core component's JavaScript file and use your custom file in your project. Remember to ensure that you understand how your modifications affect system stability and security before making any changes, and it's recommended to test them in a development environment.
