Hi @arunpatidar ,

 Default value is getting reflected but i want to see one field items as default on configuring the dialog and so i can add multiple items by clicking on the 'Add' option.

 

Thanks.


Hi,

This can be achieved by adding a default node structure in component's cq:template node.

Hi @keerthi97 

Adding the property "value" to your dialogue input fields would be your solution. 
Take a look at the example below:

 

 

<navigationLinks
   jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
   sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"
   fieldLabel="Navigation Links">
   <field
      jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
      sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container"
      name="./navLinks">
      <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
         <fieldset
            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            jcr:title="Link"
            sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/fieldset">
            <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
               <linkLabel
                  jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/textfield"
                  fieldLabel="Link Label"
                  name="./linkLabel"
                  value="@@@@@@@INiTIAL VALUE GOES HERE@@@@@@@@"/>
            </items>
         </fieldset>
      </items>
   </field>
</navigationLinks>

    Hi @arunpatidar ,

    Thanks for your response.

    Is there any OOTB component to show one default container on the dialog in the multifield component and able to add multiple values using add option.Please suggest.

     

     

    Thanks.


    If you are using composite type multifield

     

    then your cq:template node should look like below

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0"
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
    <items
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
        <item0
            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            question="val1"/>
    </items>
</jcr:root>
