checkbox value not saving in multifield dialog in AEM 6.4

Avatar

Level 2

Hi Team,

I am working on developing a multifield in 6.4 I have a checkbox, in the multifield. But, when I am adding some values in dialog, after clicking on TICK mark and refreshing the page. When I reopen the dialog, I see the empty one. Not even the  added nodes in dialog.

I have added acs-commons 4.2.0

--I have used coral only, not granite UI. That is shown in the screenshots below.

Goal :

1. Multifield with checkbox with JSON_STORE in AEM 6.4

2. I also need RTE fields in TOUCH UI dialog in 6.4 with JSON Store

Attached screen-shots of the dialog :

Could someone please provide a solution.

Hi Sampath,

It is known issue with multifield (when used with ACS-Commons), you will need to add logic to set checkbox and RTE value in touchui-widgets-init.js file and set it in "setWidgetValue" method.

You can add something like as below  for example:

isCheckbox: function ($field) {

   return !_.isEmpty($field) && ($field.prop("type") === "checkbox" || $field.hasClass("coral-Checkbox"));
},

setCheckBox: function ($field, value) {

   if($field.parent().hasClass("coral-Checkbox")){

  $field.parent().prop("checked", $field.attr("value") === value);
   }else {

  $field.prop("checked", $field.attr("value") === value);
   }

},

and in setWidgetValue() -->

setWidgetValue: function ($field, value) {

   if (_.isEmpty($field)) {

   return;
   }

   if (this.isSelectOne($field)) {

   this.setSelectOne($field, value);
   } else if (this.isCheckbox($field)) {

   this.setCheckBox($field, value);
   } else if (this.isRichTextField($field)) {

   this.setRichTextField($field, value);
   }

Also you can overlay "touchui-widgets-init.js" from acs commons and add this code

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi Vipin,

The suggestions, which you ave provided are already available in touchui-widgets-init.js file in acs-commons-4.2.0.
For the reference, I am adding the touchui-widgets-init.js file below. Could you please let me know, if there are any other changes to be made apart from this. vipin

Hi Sampath,

For this to work you will need to add "granite:class=coral-Form-fieldwrapper" property on checkbox in dialog.

Example :

<hideMobile

                                            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

                                            sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/checkbox"

                                            name="./option"

                                            text="Add Button?"

                                             granite:class=coral-Form-fieldwrapper

                                            uncheckedValue="{Boolean}false"
