Now >>

Step 1: Select Image form Dropdown and give some value in pathBrowser. (*Video dialog will hide)

Step 2: Click on Add to Add new field, and select Video from Dropdown, and select some path for videos 

Step 3: After Selection of Video in Second field (step2), we can see the image pathbrowser changes to video on first fields (step1)

And in CRX, we can see the values  are storing as expected, but the selection of just next field impacted the showing of first field

value for field 1:

value for field 2:

Hi @tushaar_srivastava 

OOTB dropdown show/hide will not work with in multifield as it is class based show/hide. On option change show/hide will be applied to all the items with in multifield as there are multiple fields with same class. Solution is to write a custom listener js to hide/show field with in closest multifield  item.

But OOTB show/hide work for Text Area and text field in Multifield, only facing issue in pathBrowser

[tushaar_srivastava]

attached Images values based on selection.

[Anudeep_Garnepudi]

pathbrowser value is not getting saved?

[tushaar_srivastava]

Values are getting saved in CRX but when we open author dialog we cannot see the value in first field

After Selection of Video in Second field (step2), we can see the image pathbrowser changes to video on first fields (step1)

[Anudeep_Garnepudi]

Yes that is expected. The value of the last multifield item field will be applied to all the multifield item on load and on change the current selection values will be applies to all multifield items. To fix this two issues you need to write your own listener js and do not use OOTB show hide from dropdown/select inside multifield.

[shaileshb584084]

Hi,

You need to write your own javascript for this and need to load them on every time the dialog is loaded again.

For getting the values from the backend we can use the below sample.

setTimeout(function() {
$.ajax(Granite.author.DialogFrame.currentDialog.editable.path + ".infinity.json").done(handler);
}, 1000);

Once you get the value's of that mulifield, create a handler and write the show/hide logic based on the business logic.

function handler(data) {
$('[data-granite-coral-multifield-name="./<multifield-node-name>"]').find('coral-multifield-item').each(function(index, value) {
$(this).find('[name*="<multifield-property-name>"]').val(data['<multifield-node-name>']['item'+index]['<multifield-property-name>']);

//method for processing the business logic goes in here in the below function

conditionalRendering();
});
}

The category "cq.authoring.dialog" should be selected while creating the js.

Thanks

For multifield show hide, use this script
