Avoid Override when save cq Dialog

[#1]

I am developing a TABS component, in the cq dialog I have a multifield where you can add the TAB title, then in the HTL it will create a responsive grid inside the item# path of the multifield (as shown below)

The problem is when I try to do anything later on the cq dialog, I go and for example, I add a new Tab, and somehow the responsivegrid(tabcontent) is gone for all the tabs, I am guessing that the cq dialog overrides the items of the multifield everytime you close it.

I need to prevent this "tabcontent" from being deleted, how can I do that?

HTL:

<sly data-sly-list.tabItem="${tabs.items}">
   <section data-title="${tabItem.title}" class="cmp-tabs__tabSection
  ${tabItemList.first ? 'is-active' : ''} ${wcmmode.edit ? 'author' : ''}"
   id="${uniqueElemId.uniqueId}-tab-${tabItemList.index}-tabsection" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="${uniqueElemId.uniqueId}-tab-${tabItemList.index}"
   aria-hidden="${tabItemList.first ? 'false' : 'true'}"
   aria-selected="${tabItemList.first ? 'true' : 'false'}">
   <div class="tabContent" data-sly-resource="${'tabs/item{0}/tabcontent' @ format=tabItemList.index,
  resourceType='wcm/foundation/components/responsivegrid'}"></div>
   </section>
</sly>

CQ DIALOG

<tabs
   jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
   sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"
   composite="{Boolean}true"
   fieldLabel="Tabs">
   <field
   jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
   sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container"
   name="./tabs">
   <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
   <title
   jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
   sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/textfield"
   fieldDescription="Enter the tab title"
   fieldLabel="Title"
   name="./title"
   required="{Boolean}true"/>
   </items>
   </field>
</tabs>

Can you post a video of your component so we can understand how its functioning.  I am not completely sure what you mean by: "

I need to prevent this "tabcontent" from being deleted, how can I do that?"

See this article that works with Multifield and Sling Models - i am seeing no issue here working with Multifield -- Adobe Experience Manager Help | Creating a HTL Repeating Data Set 6.4 Component that uses Sling Mode...

Thanks for answering, here is a video with current behavior, I tried setting the flag deleteHint to false  to the multifield, keeps the content but the problem is when I try to delete something, does not delete anything.

HTL CODE:

<sly data-sly-list.tabItem="${tabs.items}">

   <section data-title="${tabItem.title}" >

        <div class="tabContent" data-sly-resource="${'/tabs/tab{0}/tabcontent' @ format=tabItem.index,
  resourceType='wcm/foundation/components/responsivegrid'}"></div>

   </section>

</sly>

Can you wrap up your example into a package and place on Google drive so community can download it and use it. We may be able to find the solution with the package.  I want to test this.

Sure, HERE is the code.

Hi, any ideas about this? Or maybe it's a bug?

[#8]

I have the same problem as you. Have you solved your problem? If so, can you tell me how.

[#9]

Hi, no i was unable, I saved the responsive grid out of the tabcontent and associated it with an id. That's the only way I found. However the problem with this approach is if you delete the tabcontent then the responsive grid associated with it won't be deleted.
