Component name is breaking when adding to a page

[akhilraj]

Hi,

When we are adding a component, it's name is breaking in the node structure and due to which some functionality is not working.

Component :

When we add it to a  page, it should look like below,

Expected:

Actual:  global_nav_categorie          - last word s is missing.

Any idea where we can check it?

Can you check and confirm, if you dont have another component with name "global_nav_categorie" (without s)?

I noticed that your component global_nav_categories is part of group General, so check if you may have created another component with the same name (without s) and make it part of your project group.

Hi @Mohit_KBansal ,

We don't have anything with "global_nav_categorie".

It will come to content/jcr:content  with mentioned name once we add the component to page

@akhilraj So the resourcePath is pointing to your component when you place it on content/jcr:content?

I could see the same behavior in my local. Components that are dragged and dropped, the length of node name is restricted to 20 characters(excluding _ in end and random number). But that should ideally not impact any functionality because the name of node for a component is random and its functionality works based on Sling resolution. For example if you drag and drop the same component again, its name would be global_nav_categorie_RANDOM_NUMBER. 

If somewhere you are referring this node name, then you should use cq:template and refer the exact same name i.e. global_nav_categorie or refer same name in structure/initial of editable template. It should work fine.

Also if there is no restriction, I think you can change the name of the component and limit its name to max 20 characters.
