Issue while fields into Adobe Experience Manager UI for asset metadata

[NicolasSo]

Hello team, hope you are fine.

I would like to know if you can assist me on understanding what could be the issue I introduced.

Here is the timeline of facts

• I added 5 fields in the UI on the metadata screen of the fields.
  • One of the fields I added was a multivalue fields
  • I fixed (I think) as it was wrongly configured (I am sharing the code before I fixed the multivalue field in order to see if that is related to my code)
• I merged the changes in dev and that caused the attached outcome (fields in the metadata schema validator in only one column and when editing metadata for a random asset, it becomes grey

Here are two fields I added as example:

<_x0031_678945703793
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        sling:resourceType="dam/gui/components/admin/schemafield"
        fieldLabel="Alt text (from GDrive)"
        name="./jcr:content/metadata/indd:altText"
        resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield">
    <granite:data
            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            cq-msm-lockable="./metadata/indd:altText"
            metaType="text"
            requiredCascading="always"
            visibilityCascading="default"/>
</_x0031_678945703793>

<_x0031_678945703794
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        sling:resourceType="dam/gui/components/admin/schemafield"
        emptyText="Select Option"
        fieldLabel="Asset Source"
        jsonPath="/conf/indi/dam/metadata-schema/options-json/assetSource.json"
        name="./jcr:content/metadata/indd:assetSource"
        resourceType="dam/gui/coral/components/admin/schemaforms/formbuilder/formfields/v2/metadataselect">
    <granite:data
            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            cq-msm-lockable="./metadata/indd:assetSource"
            metaType="dropdown"
            requiredCascading="always"/>
    <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"/>
</_x0031_678945703794>

This piece of code is in the following file: ui.content/src/main/content/jcr_root/conf/global/settings/dam/adminui-extension/metadataschema/indi/.content.xml

Here is the other piece of code I added:

<altText
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
    name="jcr:content/indd:altText"
propertyIndex="{Boolean}true"/>
<assetSource
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
    name="jcr:content/indd:assetSource"
propertyIndex="{Boolean}true"/>

This change was introduced on the following file: ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/_oak_index/.content.xml

Would it be possible for you to help me understand what I have done wrong?

Thanks a lot.

Hi @NicolasSo 

There could be multiple things going on here, few things that I noticed are -

• The namespace indd that you have used is not available in AEM so you would have to register indd as custom namespace.
  • You can refer this link to register a custom namespace - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-learn/cloud-service/developing/advanced/c...
• Also the properties path that you have provided in your oak index does not seem correct.

Hope this helps! 

Thanks

Hi @narendragandhi I was able to troubleshoot the issue and here are the two responsables:

• The black screen was due a misconfiguration on the multifield value text 
• The fields one behind the other was due the fields being added into the col1 element in the xml

Thanks.
