Data not populated in Dialog when using Multifield in...

[saukaush]

I have using Multifield as "granite/ui/components/foundation/form/multifield", it is working fine when dialog opens as a pop up. But when the size of the screen is reduced to tab or mobile, dialog is opening as mnt/override/apps/.... in the URL and multifield data is shown as blank.

I tried upgrading from acs aem commons from 4.11 to 5.0.4 but no luck. 

I am using AEM 6.3.3 version but also checked in 6.5.9, this is not working as expected.

I know if I use coral multifield this will work fine but for that model and crx/de data needs to be modified which is not an acceptable solution for us. 

Moreover, the custom validation added in js are also not working. $(document).on("dialog-ready", function() is not getting triggered while opening dialog in mobile or Tab view.

Please help with a solution to make this work.

Hi did you tried with coral3(granite) type granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select ?

Could you share your sample dialog, so that we can try it from our end as well?

Hi Arun,

Below the dialog xml i am using.

Looking into this issue further i have noticed that, touchui-composite-multifield.js from acs commons is called to populate the multifield data, addDataInFields function is used for the same. but when dialog-ready event is not triggered in case of dialog opening as mnt/override/apps/.. this function is not called and data is not populated in the dialog. If i explicitly call this function data is populated just fine.

@saukaush , Below one is working fine on AEM 6.4. You can check and compare your dialog structure. you can also share your sample dialog as Arun said.

Hi @kchaurasiya, As I have mentioned I can't use coral multifield, I need to use coral 2 Multifield as my data and model are aligned to handle String array json. Please suggest a solution to trigger dialog-ready event in case dialog open in mnt/overlay/apps/... Thanks.
