This is a simple dialog with an issue as title and a multifield for adding multiple solutions. I am using Richtext for both the fields. But the richtext  for field inside multifield is having intermittent issues in loading href tags for previously authored links. Target tag is loading properly. Only href tag is missing if I see the source code. Because of this, when I add a new link, previous links are disappearing.

Not sure why am getting the issue only inside multifield. Please suggest me how to fix this.

Hi @SusmithaReddy 

Looks like both rtePlugins and uiSettings node are pointing to "/apps/<Myprojectfolder>/components/utility/rtePluginsTouch/uiSettings" in issue node.

It should be like rtePlugins should point to /apps/<Myprojectfolder>/components/utility/rtePluginsTouch/rtePlugins whereas uiSettings should point to uiSettings path.

<rtePlugins
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceSuperType="/apps/<Myprojectfolder>/components/utility/rtePluginsTouch/rtePlugins" />
<uiSettings
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceSuperType="/apps/<Myprojectfolder>/components/utility/rtePluginsTouch/uiSettings" />

Please update it.

Also please include htmlRules node.

<htmlRules jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
    <links
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
    </links>
</htmlRules>

Thanks

Hi @Asutosh_Jena_

The path of rteplugins is correct in my original dialog. It got corrupted while posting here.

Updated it now.

Could you please suggest where should I add htmlRules node

[Asutosh_Jena_]

Hi @SusmithaReddy 

htmlRules node should be added parallel to uiSettings node in rtePluginsTouch.xml and the same needs to be referenced in the RTE field in component dialog like you have referred the rtePlugins and uiSettings node.

RTE Plugin Structure should be:

Component dialog should be like below:
