AEM 6.5 RichText inside multifield not retaining the authored values.

[malaya_ranjand4]

Hi All,

Facing one issue in richtext under mutifield in AEM6.5 .

When we authored anything inside richtext that is under mutifield and saving the dialog.

Now after saving the dialog again if we open the dialog and we can see the value that we have given in richtext field is not present. Richtext box is blank.

As we can see from the above one, on the first hit we gave some inputs to richtext after saving, and again opening the dialog we cant see the value that we have entered.

Can anyone please help me to retain the value even after opening the dialog. (Richtext under multifield)

I have already added the node with multifield compare with that it should work.

[malaya_ranjand4]

Please let me know the root cause of this issue.
