granite/ui/components/foundation/form/select is not saving its value after re-opening the dialogue

[prash0905]

Anyone could you suggestion me how to fix the below issue.

I am using a button component which uses some properties like style and icon which dropdown values with sling:resourceTyple: granite/ui/components/foundation/form/select, I am selecting some values and values are getting saved to jcr:content but when I re-open the component the values are getting reset to default.

Could you please suggest me what change is required to fix the issue.

@prash0905 Which version of AEM are you using?

Please try with Coral UI 3 type select and see how it works:

sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select"

Thanks for your reply @Siva_Sogalapalli 

Unfortunately, the behaviour is same even after changing resource type

from sling:resourceType: granite/ui/components/foundation/form/select

to sling:resourceType: granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select

Do I need any further modification or any properties to be added like value ?

Hi @prash0905 ,
Can you share the .xml for the dialog/field which you have created.

Hi, prash0905

Which version of AEM are you using?I remember that I have met this issue before when using the early version.

[prash0905]

Hi @birdccc 

Thanks for your reply. I am using AEM 6.5.8 version.

[Siva_Sogalapalli]

@prash0905 is it possible to share the dialog.xml here? so that we can have a look.

use granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select

rather than granite/ui/components/foundation/form/select.

If it does'nt work.

You can try to overlay the /libs/granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select/render.jsp and add some log in the key line which render the selected item.

Hi @prash0905I am also facing the same issue. Did you get any working solution for it?
