@helptech You can follow the below for creation of CFs programmatically.

Resource fragmentResource = resourceResolver.getResource(fragmentPath);
        if (null != fragmentResource) {
            ContentFragment contentFragment = fragmentResource.adaptTo(ContentFragment.class);
            if (null != contentFragment) {
                Iterator<ContentElement> elements = contentFragment.getElements();
                while (elements.hasNext()) {
                    ContentElement contentElement = elements.next();
                    if (contentElement.getValue().getDataType().isMultiValue()) {
                        String[] values = contentElement.getValue().getValue(String[].class);
                        String value = null;
    
                        if (values != null) {
                            value = StringUtils.join(values, CommonConstants.CHAR_COMMA);
                            cfElements.put(contentElement.getName(), value);
                        }
    
                    } else {
                        cfElements.put(contentElement.getName(), contentElement.getContent());
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Hi,use below code to create date field in custom CF@8220494public class CustomContentFragment { @3214626 private ResourceResolverService resourceResolverService; public void createContentFragment(String fragmentPath, String dateFieldValue) { ResourceResolver resourceResolver = resourceResolverService.getResolver(); try { if (resourceResolver.hasChanges()) {// Check if the path exists resourceResolver.commit(); } Now Create the required content fragment Resource fragmentResource = resourceResolver.create( resourceResolver.getResource("/content/"), "", null // Add properties ); //Now set the date field fragmentResource.adaptTo(ValueMap.class).put("", dateFieldValue); resourceResolver.commit(); } catch (Exception e) { // Handle exceptions } finally { resourceResolver.close(); } }}. Date format value: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ Hope this helps!
