Dynamically populate Touch UI dialog - select options

[rachanam1547401]

Hi team,

I want to populate touch UI dialog's select field from json file, is it possible without writing any backend/java code?

I am looking for an option similar to class UI dialog where we can specify options="<location of json file path>" for selection widget which automatically populates widget with the options from json file.

Thanks & Regards,

Rachna

As per my understanding, there is no OOTB functionality for that use case and you have to write custom code. More details at [1]

You must write custom Java code for this. You can use WCMUse class for this purpose: Adobe Experience Manager Help | Using an WCMUsePojo class to populate an Experience Manager Touch UI...

Another method that also involves writing some custom code is to use the DataSource class:

Hi all,

Thank you for your replies,  we ended up using acs commons generic lists using data source option.
