Issue with Nested multifield using coral UI multifield

Avatar

Level 3

I have created a nested multifield using coral UI like below

myinput

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

        - composite = true

        + field

          - sling:resourceType = "granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container"

          - name = "./addresses"

          + items

            + nestedmultifield

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

              - composite =true

              + field

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

                - name = "./items"

            + street1

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

              - name = "street1"

I was able to save the data to the node and read it without any problems.However, When i configure the values in the dialog for the first time and save it and come back again to add an additional multifield when i click on ADD on the first multifield. It opens up the second multifield instead of the first one.

Do i need to have any additional configuration for it?

Hi Kautuksahni,

Problem is when we do a nested multifield not when we have a single multifield.

Multifield1

     + text

     + multifield2

          +text

          +text

With the above structure when we open the already configured dialog and try to add an item in the multifield1 it opens the multifield2.

Let me know if the issue is still not clear.

Here is a related doc - see if you can follow same steps for granite/coral MF - Create Nested MultiField Component in AEM 6.3

This doesn't work. What ever the add field we click it opens up the outer multifield only.

Having the same issue. Anyone find a fix?

Update from Adobe:

"Nested multifields aren't supported in 6.3. They are only supported in AEM 6.4 and would be supported in AEM 6.5 as well.

If you cannot upgrade to 6.4 instead then please consider trying the ACS commons solution here:

https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/ui-widgets/multifield-extension...

That page notes that you should use coral 3 components on 6.3+ but it should say 6.4+."

Can someone confirm that there is no way to have a coral nested multifield on AEM 6.3?

Thanks
