Notice that the articleTitle field have a sling:resourceType="cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext"

When creating a page with these fields, you CANNOT edit them, even though they are required.

This seems to be true for all cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext components.

Is there a workaround for this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Can you post a screen shot of the component where these fields are used please.

[deana66659071]

Here it is

[smacdonald2008]

Is this wizard meant to go into product or only meant for author?

[deana66659071]

Author only

[ravim19]

I'm facing the same issue too. do we have any solution for this?

[viveksachdeva]

facing on 6.2 or 6.3? In case of 6.2, is it vanilla instance or you have some SP installed? Can share content package for the same..

[ravim19]

It's 6.2 with SP1-CFP1. How do I share my sample package in the adobe forum? I don't see any file upload option here.

[smacdonald2008]

Put it on a Google Drive and share the URL

[ravim19]

Thanks for the quick response. Here is the link and steps to reproduce.

RAVI_ADOBE_FORUM - Google Drive

1. Deploy the attached packages in the AEM.
2. Go to the sites.html and select the Lesson > English folder
3. Create a page with "Base Page" template and choose to the metadata tab.
4. The first field "Teaser title" is a RTE field which is not editable.

This bug is seen only on the page creation. The RTE is editable after the page creation under the full screen mode or dialog mode.

[smacdonald2008]

For this field - use a textfield:

A RTE should be used in a component dialog - as shown here:

[ravim19]

But our requirement is to use a RTE in the page properties tab and author it while creating the page. If I use the text area in the page properties. The dialog mode will also show only the text area.

[anjaliprasad89]

To enter value for richtext field in Page proeprties:-

Please check for javascript errors and ensure that dependencies like cq.shared are added properly.

Even then the value entered in a rich text field will not be saved.

[anales75361900]

Was their a work around for this issue. I too have a requirements that authors wanter to be able to enter in Rich Text during page creation.

Thanks
