HI All,

Thanks for help. Just got to know we have one mandatory property in multi-field components for all the cq:widget is key. If we did not declare the key property in all the cq:widget then we will not be able to retain the value for same.

Below is updated screenshot.

Hi All,

 

I'm also facing the similar issue with multi-field in 6.4 which is not working properly as for first time i click on edit and enter the values it display that on web page and when i again click on edit button first time entered values will be not available in the component & if i click ok it get wiped on page as well as said above i think its with acs commons. Any idea what it could be?

Can someone please suggest.

Hi,

The links provided by Manju for Touch UI Multifield. As I can see that you have issue in Multifield in Classic UI.

Also, Please check this Classic UI article for Multifield: Adobe Experience Manager Help | Developing a custom Adobe Experience Manager Quiz Component

Even i checked this as well. This also seems to be little complex component . As i am new in AEM so not able to grasp much. Can you please help me to look above screenshot why the dialog is getting empty after i click on edit and there is nothing get stored in title property in CRX but is saved in abc property in CRX.

Most of the community effort now into Multi-Field is for Touch UI and later AEM versions (ie - 6.3) such as: Scott's Digital Community: Creating an AEM HTML Template Language 6.3 component that uses a Multifie...

However, this uses ACS-Commons. See if the approach we talk about here works in Classic MF.

As you can see from this article - the data is stored as JSON data.

Hi Sahil,

I am also facing the sam issue, the values are not getting saved in dialog, although they are persisted in crxde.

Could you send the sample code.

Hi,

I am dynamically populating drop-down which is inside the multi field, but rest of the items inside multi field retaining their value except drop-down.

Could anyone help on that.
