We have custom RTE component. We added styles plugin as per https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/configuring-and-extending/configure-rich-text-editor-plug-ins#activateplugin

But still it is coming as empty. It is showing in network request.

AEM version : AEM as cloud

Please help me here.

Hi @kautuk_sahni ,

Issue was fixed. Its due to code merging and categories name for RTE component was not updated to correctly.

Thank you Everyone for your inputs!!!

@sangrampa1 ,
Can you share logs when you open the dialog and trying to access it?

additionally,

can you check if you have cssName entries or externalStyleSheets mapped?
check if css is being loaded in browser dev tools.

Hi Mukesh,

Thanks for your reply.

I already checked everything and everything is in place. But still it is not working.

Issue is on AEM as cloud.
