Basic doubt about cq:editConfig usage

[askdctm]

Hi All,

In this article, https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/custom_step_dialog.html

Also, went through the section cq:formParameters  in https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/developing/components/edit_config.html .

It says "The cq:formParameters node (node type nt:unstructured) defines additional parameters that are added to the dialog form. Each property is mapped to a form parameter".

We have dialog to represent the two tabs "Common" and "Arguments". I am not able to understand what role is being played by cq:editconfig node here.

Any thoughts on this will be helpful.

Hi

So basically, when you hover on the workflow step or component parsys... this is the time edit config comes into the picture.

You might want component can be edit but cannot be move, may be disabled feature to copy the component, it can be enable inplace editing. and etc...

So it has to do with the way you edit with component and nothing to do with tabs and fields in dialog
