AEM 6.3 | 6.4 cq-msm-lockable not working properly for rich text in page properties

[nitink38468461]

When we use cq-msm-lockable on resource type cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext in page properties it doesn't work properly.

And it shows lock but editor can edit the text though it doesn't save it. So basically it creates a confusion to editors.

In above pictures we can see even style is not appropriate for a locked property.

Steps to reproduce.

1. Create a template with page property with resource type cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext and set cq-msm-lockable as yes on it.

2. Create a page with this template

3. Rollout the page to live copies.

4. Open live copy page properties and observe the behavior of the property.

Affected Versions: AEM 6.3.1.1, AEM 6.4.2

Hi,

I have the same issue.

When I cancel or revert the inheritance with the lock icon on the Rich Text Field, I can see the POST request to "pagepath/jcr:content.msm.conf" with cmd: cancelPropertyInheritance or cmd: reenablePropertyInheritance (and the msm:propertyName with the property name of the richtext). So that is working fine, like on any other field type.

The problem is that when a Rollout is executed, the content of the Rich Text is always replaced with the content of the Blueprint regardless the inheritance is cancelled or not. So although the inheritance is cancelled for the Rich Text with the POST request, for some reason that is not taken in count when doing the Rollout.

Extract of the Page dialog with the Rich Text field:

<copyblock
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext"
name="./copyBlock"
fieldLabel="Description"
required="{Boolean}false"
cq-msm-lockable="copyblock"
useFixedInlineToolbar="{Boolean}true">
