Metadata Schema: TagField - Is there a way to add properties for "forceSelection" from UI Metadata Schema end?

[anish11]

Hi,

Is there an option to add the "forceSelection" field for the tagfield resourceType through the Metadata Schema from UI end?

This is how it should appear for the tagfield in the crx/de backend.

Hi @anish11,

This is possible, here are detailed instructions:

1. Overlay /libs/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/schemaforms/formbuilder/formfields/v2/tagsfield/tagsfield.jsp, so as a result you will get structure under apps:/apps/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/schemaforms/formbuilder/formfields/v2/tagsfield/tagsfield.jsp
   
2. Edit tagsfield.jsp under overlay, and add below code:
   

           <%
   			boolean forceSelection = cfg.get("forceSelection", false);
   			String forceSelectionChecked = forceSelection ? "checked" : "";
           %>
           <input handle="input" type="checkbox" name="<%= xssAPI.encodeForHTMLAttr("./items/" + key + "/forceSelection") %>" value="true" <%= forceSelectionChecked %>/>
       	<input type="hidden" name="<%= xssAPI.encodeForHTMLAttr("./items/" + key + "/forceSelection@TypeHint") %>" value="Boolean"/>
   		<label for="forceSelection">Force Selection</label><br>

   

The result will look like this:

Additionally you can experiment with styling to make it look like other checkboxes.
