Unable to remove the components from Editable Templates

Hello Everyone,

We are using editable templates, after adding the components to the editable template I noticed that there is no trash icon in the toolbar so we are unable to remove the component from Template. Is it expected behavior with the editable templates because when I use the same component on static templates I am seeing trash icon and I am able to remove the component.

Note:

We are not seeing trash icon for the components in their rendering script

If we referencing content within structure components via data-sly-resource using the @ resourceType option, we are unable to delete the component.

Code snippet of my component rendering script:

<div class="full-stack-content">

    <div class="container">

        <data-sly-resource="${ @path='sectionResponsiveGrid', resourceType='wcm/foundation/components/responsivegrid'}"></div>

    </div>

</div>

If we do not have any referencing content within structure components via data-sly-resource using the @ resourceType option we are seeing the trash icon like shown below.

Thanks,

Narayana.

    I found one article about it, after following those steps (after adding the section component and if I authored it I am able to see the trash icon/ delete button) I am able to remove that component from editable template.

    That 6.4 article should be backwards compatible for 6.3.

      I had the same problem. The Stackoverflow solution indeed helped. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50447249/not-able-to-remove-components-in-editable-template-aem

      For me, I had to go into the editable template and switch from Structure to Initial Content, in order to add content to the component. Then I was able to delete it. 

      Adobe should consider improving the experience of using a component with data-sly-resource using the @ resourceType option.
