if you want to expose the
"offer": ["10% off or more","15% off or more","20% off or more","25% off or more","30% off or more"]. you can put maybe you can create in RTE or Text field or Textarea as text field,
why you need to create options(dropdown, checkbox)
Hi @Saravanan_Dharmaraj ,
I want to show the checkbox based on the selection of dynamic dropdown. when I select any value in dropdown i want to show checkboxes dynamically on the page properties dialog. checkbox values are also dynamic and coming from 3rd party services.
Hope you understand.
Hello @Naresh536 ,
I created a similar type of dialog generation last year. My problem was like this:
I have a component, Component dropdown fields are dynamic. Based on the selection fields checkboxes were shown and hidden which was also dynamic. And all those data came from a service REST API.
My Solution:
I create a dialog like this, where the selected items and checkbox was not present.
At the time of dialog loading, I created the rest of the fields by using Java under /apps/myproj/component/mycomponet/cq:dialog/...
For this, I created a service user and give that user READ, WRITE, MODIFY, DELETE permission. (/apps/myproj/component/mycomponet)
And the Java code is something like this. Hope you understand.
Cons:
Since we write under /apps, in the parallel time of authoring value will be changed by other authors.
In my case, this component was not heavily used and need to configuration sometimes. That's why the overlapping change was very rare.

Hi @arunpatidar ,
Thanks for providing the link. dropdown datasource is not sutabile for our use case.
let me explain my query again.
I have a drop down. When I select a value in dropdown ajax call will be triggered and data has to be displayed as shown below. headline and checkbox values are coming form 3rd party service which are dynamic. onload of dialog headline and checkbox should be hidden.
dropdown --- selected
headline 1
checkbox 1
checkbox 2
headline 2
checkbox 1
checkbox 2
-----------------------------
and could you please also assist me on, how to add a coral.accordion fileds with checkboxes using coral UI javascript when we select a value in dropdown. which has to be added under the dropdown.
Would appreciate any help.
Hi,
You need to create headline, checkbox dynamically using javascript on dropdown load/change.
You can use Coral APIs to do that
Hi @arunpatidar ,
I have used the same approach in backend and created coral ui Html in servlet and added the response to dummy div tag below the dropdown. But the json data is huge, where headlines are 120 and there are minumun 30 and max is 6000 checkboxes in each headline.
how can we handle this huge data with better authoring experience and less number of clicks.
kindly assist.
Thank you.
HI @narensh
I think your approach is wrong then, it will be really different for authors to authors content in a dialog with 6000 fields.
You have to think some different approach, like creating the content at temporary location and including via dialog as source node etc.
Could you please explain your case here?
Hi @arunpatidar ,
Sure. We are working on the headless project. content authors will assign this third party json data to a page. Once the page is published, we will send this page json with unique id to other system. based on this data (json) content from the published page will be dispalyed.
example json:
"offer": ["10% off or more","15% off or more","20% off or more","25% off or more","30% off or more"]. etc...
Note: Currently the site is on java frame work application. we are migrating to AEM.
thanks in advance.

Hi @arunpatidar ,
Authors want a better approach when compared to current design.
current design : each Item has checkboxes and those are dynamic.
I dont find any other approach in aem. So trying to replicate same in aem. Authors want less clicks. I did some poc, in that dialog is loading very slow and sometimes page is unresponsive.
Looking for a better authoring experience in aem.
Thanks in advance.
Hello @Naresh536 ,
Since you don't want to create a node under /apps there are another solutions.
Solution 1:
You can use Datasource.
Here is a sample code, where you will call an HTML file and on that HTML you will call a Java Model class. That model will call the API and create a json for you.
XML:
<myList
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select"
fieldLabel="Select An Item"
name="./selectItem">
<datasource
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="/apps/my-proj/datasource/speciality/speciality.html"/>
</myList>
HTML:
<sly data-sly-use.data="com.myProj.modal.MyModel"></sly>
Java:
List<Resource> resourceList = new ArrayList<>();
ValueMap vm = new ValueMapDecorator(new HashMap<>());
vm.put("value",value);
vm.put("text",text);
resourceList.add(new ValueMapResource(resolver, new ResourceMetadata(), JcrConstants.NT_UNSTRUCTURED, vm));
DataSource ds = new SimpleDataSource(resourceList.iterator());
this.getRequest().setAttribute(DataSource.class.getName(), ds);
Solution 2:
You call Java Servlet directly from the dialog XML
XML:
<myList
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select"
fieldLabel="Select An Item"
name="./selectItem">
<datasource
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="your/servlet/path"
parameter="optional your value"/>
</myList>
Java:
Same as the previous one.

Hi @Sady_Rifat ,
Thanks for your response. I think Data source will work for key value. I want to show these checkbox inside arrodion. Could you please let me know any possibility using datasource.
Thanks in advance.
