Do we need to install latest ACS commons package after AEM upgrade 6.5.18?

Hi Team,

 

In my current project, we have upgraded AEM 6.5.9 to 6.5.18.

ACS commons current version is 5.0.4

 

Now, we are facing some multifield-related issues. (Unable to store the dialog fields once saved.) We have many components that have stored the multifield in JSON format as well as in node structure.

 

In some of the Adobe articles, they mention upgrading ACS Commons too.

Could you please confirm if we need to upgrade ACS Commons versions along with the AEM upgrade?

 

 

Thanks in advanced!

Nikita M.

Hi @nikita_mazire ,

Some of the package which is installed on your AEM instance is not compatible w/ ACS-version. Please check what all package you have applied apart from SP 18, may be SSP(security patch) package installed could also break this.
Also try replacing the underscore with acs-commons.loadash as suggested in below blog:

Hi @nikita_mazire!

I'm not aware of a dependency between the latest AEM service pack and a specific version of ACS Commons.

What version of ACS Commons are you currently using?

 

I'd recommend to run a quick test (e. g. on a local development environment) if an upgrade of ACS Commons fixes the issue. That will most probably be the fastest way to get clarity.

In general, it's always a good idea to keep all parts of the software, including tools and libraries, up-to-date to benefit from new features and latest fixes.

 

Hope that helps!

          Hello @nikita_mazire 

          Referring to the compatibility chart, it seems that the suggestion for AEM version 6.5.10+ is to use ACS Commons version 6.x.x. It seems to be a good time for you to upgrade ACS commons to the latest version.

           

          Compatibility chart: https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/pages/compatibility.html

           

          regards,

            Hello @nikita_mazire 

             

            As everyone else suggested, please plan to upgrade ACS commons too.

            • You would be able to access recently added features
            • You would have recent fixes also available

             

            But, while you would get additional benefits, I would request you to also validate the features of ACS commons that your project is currently using. Just to rule out deprecation/change of any feature.

              Hi @nikita_mazire ,

              As per the compatibility chart "https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/pages/compatibility.html"  , ACS commons version  5.0.4 does support AEM 6.5.18. The multifiled issue that you are seeing it could be due to error in multifield js provided by ACS-commons. Can you check if you have applied any other patch apart from AEM upgrade.
              Also look into the browser console as what is breaking in JS.
              If nothing works then you can try updating to latest version of ACS-common.


              Thanks
              Tarun

                Thanks @tarunkumar  

                You catch it well, ACS commons version  5.0.4 does support AEM 6.5.18

                I've installed ACS Commons upgrade to 6.2.0 in my local, but still the same JS issue persists.

                 

                Facing a multifield JS issue after upgrading AEM 6.5.18

                I've attached a snippet below from the console error. 

                We've multiple components with data storage in JSON as well as in nodes format. (I hope we'll not lose content from MultiField.)

                 

                 

                Any quick solution for this? Maybe we can add some global JS change
