items and sub nodes are getting reset in Multifield c...

[sreenathg397727]

we have used  sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/multifield" in aem 6.4. Nodes are created like below and its working fine. we used podComponent inside podsContainer component dialog.

podsContainer

             |

            pods

                 |

                 0

                  |

                 assetPod

but when we chaged sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield" in aem 6.5. Nodes needs to be created in below format. but data is resetting for every dialog submission.

podsContainer

             |

            pods

                 |

                items0

                  |

                 assetPod (not creating)

Hi @sreenathg397727 ,

Please go through below example. It works perfectly with item nodes created in the new structure.

_________Dialog______________

<infoItems

jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

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

composite="{Boolean}true"

fieldLabel="Items">

<field

jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

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

name="./infoItems">

<items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

<column

jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

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

<items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

<iconUrl

jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

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

fieldLabel="Icon"

name="./iconUrl"

rootPath="/content/dam/"/>

<infoText

jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

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

fieldLabel="Info Text"

name="./infoText"/>

</items>

</column>

</items>

</field>

</infoItems>

________Sling Model_______

@Getter

@Model(adaptables = Resource.class, defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL)

public class InfoItems {

@Inject

private Resource infoItems;

}

________HTL_________

<sly data-sly-use.model="co.sampleapp.InfoItems">

<ul data-sly-list.infoItem="${model.infoItems.listChildren}">

<li><b>Icon: ${infoItem.iconUrl} Text:</b> ${infoItem.infoText}</li>

</ul>

</sly>

@sreenathg397727 Have you customized the multifield rendering in 6.4 ? The behavior you see in 6.5 is the OOTB rendering behavior. For every item , it will create a node starting items0,items1,... and when each individual field values will go us property in the items node. I would recommend to modify your existing code to match this behavior as this might cause issues for future upgrades. Try to keep customization as less as possible . 

Thanks
