Multifield Support in new Content Fragment editor

Hello Team,

I am using AEM as a cloud service. Wanted to know, whether multifield support is avialable in new Content Fragment editor?
I was referring to these AEM community forum:
https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/custom-multifield-in-content-fragment/m-p/613121


https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/customized-content-fragment-model-in-new-editor-does-not-work/td-p/677474

 

If multifield support is not possible directly, is it possible to support by externalizing it via Adobe Runtime using React Spectrum?

I got this articles as well: https://medium.com/tech-learnings/aem-cloud-enabling-dynamic-data-fields-in-the-new-content-fragment-editor-a3b6f6d70b19

 

Can someone provide me details about this?

 

Thanks

Hi @mahesh_gunaje,

AFAIK classic AEM multifield with more than one input field is not possible in the new CF editor. In AEMaaCS you can still use the old CF editor, where it is possible, but that's probably not a good long-term strategy.

There are a few extension points available for the new CF editor but none of them make it possible to introduce a custom multifield: https://developer.adobe.com/uix/docs/services/aem-cf-editor/api/. At least I haven't found a way to do it with no direct access to the editor DOM and just a few API methods available.

 

Hope this helps,

Daniel

    Hi @mahesh_gunaje,

    check https://meticulous.digital/blog/f/migration-to-the-new-content-fragment-editor-in-aemaacs there is a section on "Nested Multifield" and why I would discourage developers from using those.

     

    Good luck,

    Daniel

      @mahesh_gunaje also check this https://medium.com/tech-learnings/aem-cloud-service-composite-multifield-in-content-fragments-editor-new-editor-8021bf11f8b6 just be careful now to use any reference fields in the custom MF, as those might create other problems for AEM Editors when they move/rollout content.

       

      Good luck,

      Daniel
