Extending Basic Page Text Property and Converting to RTE

[bkumar_]

Hi,

I have extended description property in my base page component using below code for basic tab to make description field RTE from simple text.

<basic
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        jcr:title="Basic"
        sling:orderBefore="article"
        sling:resourceSuperType="wcm/foundation/components/basicpage/v1/basicpage/tabs/basic"
        sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/fixedcolumns">
    <items jcr:primaryTfype="nt:unstructured">
        <column jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
            <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

<moretitles jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
    <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
        <description
                cq:showOnCreate="{Boolean}true"
                jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                sling:resourceType="cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext"
                required="true"
                useFixedInlineToolbar="true">
            <rtePlugins jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
                <format
                        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                        features="bold,italic"/>

Behavior on page property for existing page is as follows:

For new page: 

Editing on existing page works fine but during new page creation it creates an issue.

Update: Our requirement is to display description in paragraph form with line breaks as it is authored on page properties. Right now it is being displayed in one long paragraph clustered together even if we add line breaks.

Hi @bkumar_ 
You have added a property, that might causing the issue?

cq:showOnCreate="{Boolean}true"

 Can you try adding one moew RTE field , just for testing and see, if you still face the issue?

[bkumar_]

Thanks for the suggestion but even after removing this property, it doesn't seem to work.

Can you check, if there is an error in the browser console?

[bkumar_]

No error showing on browser console also.

This I believe is a known limitation for Rich text editor https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/sites/administering/operati... If it is really required then some custom javascript would probably be required.

Hi ,

There is no name property added for description that is causing issue can u try by adding name field to description, it works fine.

[bkumar_]

Thanks for the suggestion. It is already picking the name field from sling:resourceType .I have tried adding name property here also but doesn't solve the issue.
