AEM6.3 - Issue with a pathfield in a multifield dialog

[#1]

Hi,

I am using the pathfield from granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/pathfield in many places of our website and I never had a problem.

Now, I am trying to use it on a multifield, and happens that if I select a path the value is stored but its not retrieved when I open the dialog again.

Does anyone knows some workaround to correct this?

Below are my dialog. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Please refer the link below. It has an example package (in AEM 6.3) which uses multifield component that has pathfield as one of the fields (granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/pathfield) in it.

We've tested the package from below link and it worked fine for us.

Could you please take a look at the example package and give it a try? Please let us know if you still see the same issue. We'll be more than happy to help you!

I am using JSON_STORE. select and pathfield are the things, I am facing issues with.

Could you please share the package or the component xml file which you are using.

Thanks,

Thanks for your response,

I tried it for checkbox(granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/checkbox) and select type but it is not working for me,

and also it is creating a new node for all new add item. Is there any way we can have it with json format in jcr:content itself instead creating new node,

like in jcr:content of page we will have products as properties in multivalued  String[]

{"linktext":"Join this","internalpagelink":"/content/weretails/somelink1","target":true}{"linktext":"Contact Us","internalpagelink":"/content/weretail/contact-us","target":false}{"linktext":"Working weretail","internalpagelink":"/content/weretail/somepage","target":true}

the same thing was working when we were using Classic UI dialog.

Hi,

thank you very much for your help.

The problem was that I was trying to use granite/ui/components/coral/foundation inside a structure that was using the

granite/ui/components/foundation

Thank you once more!

I am also using the same issue with

granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select and

granite/ui/components/foundation/form/checkbox

although the value is getting saved in jcr:content but not showing if open dialog again
