    Hi,

    You can define rootPath as a property for pathfield or pathbrowser coral3 field types like below:

    It will allow you to open root folder for browse as specified.

    Hi Scott,

    We are constructing a custom structure which is not available under the /content.  But we wanted to see if it's possible to point the custom structure along with the /content data in the ui front of select path dialog.  So with this link we were not able to do so

    Thanks

    Yes specifying rootPath will pick specific content. In our use case we had to manipulate the data which was shown in the selection dialog box. I was able to do so by overlaying the pathbrowsercolumn.jsp file and customize it to our requirements. This is the file responsible for populating the data in the pathbrowser.

    Overlay Path: /apps/cq/gui/components/common/pathbrowser/pathbrowsercolumn/pathbrowsercolumn.jsp

    Actual Path: /libs/cq/gui/components/common/pathbrowser/pathbrowsercolumn/pathbrowsercolumn.jsp

    Thanks,

    Manoj
