Multi field collapses after submit

[Vinod-N-E]

Hello Community,

I am not able to read the values of a multi field while the dialog submit event, below is the example before dialog submission.

the can be accessed using jQuery but,

after the dialog is submitted the field collapses and the DOM objects and the values are not available. Below is the example after dialog submit.

The fields are not available, is there anyway to read the multi field values.

@Vinod-N-E Please see the example below for the multifield in AEM

https://exadel.com/news/setting-up-a-multifield-in-aem-touch-ui-dialogs-tutorial/

Please post the dialog xml here to get more support. When you say you are not able to read , you mean in Sling model or sightly ? Are you using composite multifield?

                                                    </items>
                                                </column>
                                            </items>
                                        </field>
                                    </rootPaths>

The values are getting posted to the crx, I am trying to validate the multi field using JS.

I am able to get the values before submit, but during the submit, the fields are not available that's the issue.

Hello @Vinod-N-E ,
The problem is in your code you just missed composite="{Boolean}true" where you put the value as false.

composite="{Boolean}true"

This property will solve your problem.

Still, the recommendation is to use Coral 3 which is the latest.

New structure sample code,

<rootPaths
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"
        fieldLabel="Root nodes are not allowed"
        composite="{Boolean}true">
    <field
            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container"
            name="./rootPaths">
        <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
            <parentPage
                    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                    sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/pathbrowser"
                    name="./tagsSearchRoot"
                    rootPath="/content"/>
        </items>
    </field>
</rootPaths>

Thanks Sady, I tested this and it seems to be fine  now.
