Composite Field as fieldConfig of Multifield not retrieving values back

[VeenaVikraman]

Hi

      I was trying to create a composite field by adding compositefield as xtype for multifield's fieldconfig . It stores value in CRX as below

      The value is not retrieved back to the dialog. Can anyone have any idea how to retrieve back the values.

Thanks

In the latest versions of AEM when dealing with multifield, you can set composite="{Boolean}false" or composite="{Boolean}true."

composite="{Boolean}false" = stores the multilist items into a String[] in side of the resource's properties.

composite="{Boolean}true" = stores the multilist items individual nodes.

<damAssetPaths
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
    sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"
    composite="{Boolean}false"
    fieldDescription="Content Fragment Paths"
    fieldLabel="Content Fragment Paths">
    <field
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container"
        name="./damAssetPaths"
        required="true"
        rootPath="/content/dam/advancedbionics">
        <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
            <damAssetPaths
                jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/pathbrowser"
                name="./damAssetPaths"
                rootPath="/content/dam/advancedbionics"/>
        </items>
    </field>
</damAssetPaths>
