Content Fragment Template: Leveraging Coral DatePicker within Multifield Container Results in Duplicate Rendering (AEM 6.4)

Avatar

Level 2

Hello,

Having a weird issue with a content fragment template that I'm a little stumped on. I've found the following article that details how to build multifield components for content fragments; I was able to get this to work with some multifield containers that have multiple items in them (textfields, dropdowns, and booleans.)

 

However, I am currently trying to build another multifield, but this time one whose container has the datepicker, and it has some weird rendering issues.

The datepicker is rendering within the multifield container just fine (with the option to add and move as many as I like), but also renders a single datepicker just below the multifield component. Both fields save as well. When I look in the CRXDE, I'm not seeing this item on the content fragment template so I'm not sure where it is coming from.

Hi @AEMRand 

 

I tried to reproduce this issue in my local AEM instance using dialog xml which you shared & this additional datepicker below multifield is getting added because of metaType property as highlighted below. remove this metaType property & this issue will be resolved.

 

Remove metaType property:
