Add Field to Tag in AEM 6.1 (Touch UI)

[Kreender]

Hello
I need to add a custom field to the tags on my project. I haven't found documentation on how to do that. I found that the dialog for the tags is here:
/libs/cq/tagging/gui/content/tags/tagedit, I successfully added a new field there but it is not being persisted, I found the js code that sends the request to persist the data in tagedit.js, the data seems ok, but after an ajax call I lost track on where the actual save is being performed.
Any help would be appreciated. To summarize the question, besides shadowing /libs/cq/tagging/gui/content/tags/tagedit and adding the field I need there, what do I need to do for the data to persist correctly?

Answering myself. I needed to modify the file tagedit.js specifically the foundation-contentloaded event so it loads the custom data, like:

var customField = res["customFieldName"];
$("#customFuieldId").val(customField);

Thanks for this - i am also searching to see if this is documented somewhere.

Thanks, Kreender.

This will add additional fields while editing the tags and persist the data for same.

I am wondering how to make it work on the creation of a tag.

Under creatag, we can able to add the fields, but on post command, I can see the data being passed. However the data is not persited?

Hi,

Change the property name from myCustomTag to jcr:myCustomTag and then give a try
