AEM 6.1 Touch UI and cq:actions with 'editannotate' does not work

I'm not sure if this answers my question. The component works in Touch UI, also the component's dialog, the only problem is, when I add cq:actions to Edit Config and use editannotate, the Configure button is not shown anymore. It also happens, if I take a plain AEM 6.1, seach for a libs/foundation component with cq:actions defined and add editannotate instead of edit (e.g. the forms/start component). So a missing resourceType isn't the problem I think.

Sounds like you discovered a bug - please log a ticket.

Hi Anne,

I just tried this in a AEM6.0 and 6.1 instance and it worked in the 6.0 instance. So does seem like bug.

The way it should work is that the annotate part of "editannotate" is ignored as there is now an overlay which is used for doing annotations[1]. So if you change editannotate to edit it will allow you to edit and annotate in the touch ui, which probably doesn't help you in classic ui if you are using only cq:actions "edit".

Hm, if I use editannotate, also in Touch UI I can not annotate the component.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant "If I use edit, ...."

OK, thanks for your answers, I will log a ticket to Adobe.

Hi Anne,

did you review the section on "Annotating a Component - Touch-optimized UI" in [1]. Are you not able to annotate the component using the method described?

Yes, I followed the instructions. I tested with /libs/foundation/components/form/text.

No cq:actions: editing and annotation is possible

cq:actions with edit: editing possible, annotation not

cq:actions with editannotate: no editing possible, no annotation possible

Is this problem solved? I am also facing the same issue.

Adobe has reported this bug to development, with request number CQ-52808. But I don't know when this fix is included in a hotfix or service pack, I could not find it here: https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kb/aem61-available-hotfixes.html
Due to other difficulties with Touch UI we do not use it right now and therefore have no information about this bug.

are they going to provide a hotfix for this or going to rollout along with 6.2 release ?
