Handling Optional Field Property - cq:dialog

Hello All - There is a cq:dialog for the page component for capturing the page properties. In that, I have a drop-down with two options for the authors to select and it is not a mandatory field. When the values are not selected, the productType property shouldn't be captured in jcr:content. Could some suggest how to handle this?


<productType
cq:showOnCreate="{Boolean}true"
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select"
fieldLabel="Product Type"
name="./productType">
<items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<household
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
text="Household"
value="HH"/>
<commercial
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
text="Commercial"
value="COM"/>
</items>
</productType>

Hi,

 

As per your xml shared you have two options in the dropdown and by default the first option will be showed when the dialog is opened and when dialog is closed the value will be stored with property name under jcr:content

 

You can add below property to the productType node which will show the place holder text on dialog open and if no value is selected from dropdown, value will not be stored in jcr:content. "Select Value" text can be any value as per your requirement.

 

 

Dialog will be showed as below

 

For more options on select refer
