Asset - Share Link popup Customization Issue

Hi @aniket_h,

As per my understanding, in AEM SDK v2024.3 and earlier, overlaying /libs/dam/gui/content/assets/adhocassetsharedialog to /apps/... worked fine for customizing the "Share Link" popup. But in AEM SDK v2025.4+, Adobe has started locking down or refactoring some dialogs and components — making overlays ineffective unless done very specifically.

In newer versions:

• The Adhoc Asset Share dialog is dynamically built using client-side JS rendering, particularly via Coral UI components and internal Granite JS APIs.

• The /libs/dam/gui/content/assets/adhocassetsharedialog path may still exist, but it’s not directly editable or respected anymore, because Adobe has started moving toward client-side rendering from JavaScript modules.

So even if you overlay the dialog in /apps, it won’t affect the UI, because the dialog is being generated in JS from internal code (often from /libs/dam/gui/coral/components/commons/sharelink, etc.).

You may consider workaround for AEM SDK 2025.x+

To make custom fields appear in the Share Link dialog, you have two main paths:

Option 1: Extend using JS customization

This is the safest and most future-proof way.

1. Overlay the JS clientlib used for the share dialog, usually at: /libs/dam/gui/coral/components/commons/sharelink/clientlibs

2. Create your own custom clientlib in /apps/dam/gui/.../clientlibs and include your JS code that hooks into the share dialog’s Coral components after render.

3. Use Coral API like:

   $(document).on("foundation-contentloaded", function () { const dialog = document.querySelector("coral-dialog.sharelink"); if (dialog && !dialog.querySelector(".custom-share-extension")) { const container = document.createElement("div"); container.className = "custom-share-extension"; const textField = new Coral.Textfield(); textField.label.textContent = "Text Field"; container.appendChild(textField); const button = new Coral.Button(); button.label.textContent = "Button"; container.appendChild(button); dialog.querySelector("form").appendChild(container); } });

4. Add the proper categories, e.g., dam.gui.sharelink, and embed it.

Option 2: Overlay the underlying component (may break in future)

If you're okay with risk (for SDK-only or local dev use), try:

• Still overlay /libs/dam/gui/content/assets/adhocassetsharedialog to /apps/...

• But also overlay and modify the sharelink.html and related dialog rendering files under: /libs/dam/gui/coral/components/commons/sharelink/

Be aware: this is not recommended by Adobe, and updates might break your customization.

Hope that helps!
