Hi All

Has anyone tried to customize the ACS AEM Commons Generic List to include a third field(by default there is two field available as you can see in the image) in the Generic List without enabling localization.

My findings :

i came across a blog you can check these out as well but this doesn't seem to be working.

jsp which is responsible for rendering /apps/acs-commons/components/utilities/genericlist/content/content.jsp

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the article! Depending on your use case, there are more options available these days, such as Content Fragments, which provide a more robust UI, better scalability, and headless capabilities. Additionally, using ACS List with JSON as a value could serve as a useful workaround to avoid extending ACS Lists. IMHO I wouldn’t necessarily recommend extending them as the first option.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestion @estebanbustamante,I thought of using JSON as a value; we are using that even at some point for another use case. Still, I was thinking this for an existing ACS list, and that list in a big application must have been used in multiple places, so hampering that and changing the value type of JSON would not be a good idea.

But lets say if we want to add a third field then extending is last option is what i can see, any comments @estebanbustamante

@abhishekanand_ Can you please elaborate on your use case?

As @estebanbustamante mentioned, there might be other options available for your need instead of customizing the ACS commons list.
