Multifield values not storing under the required path

[aemninja]

Hello Community - I have several tabs in the page properties. Here I have pasted the dialog xml for one of the tab which has the multifield in it. Whenever I create a new section in the multifield, the values are stored in a node hierarchy :item0/item1 under the node: version-path-info.

The two hidden field values are stored in jcr:content which I don't want and prefer to store it on version-path-info node. I have even tried changing the name of the hidden fields (e.g. ./version-path-info/selectedversion) but it is not saved under this node.

Also, whenever I delete all the multifield sections from the tab, the "version-path-info" node is not getting deleted. Even the hidden fields which is stored under the jcr:content is also not getting deleted.

can someone please tell me what is wrong with this XML ?

Dialog XML:

Can you try with Granite type and not rely on ACS Common NODE_STORE

Example

<navigationLinksMultifield
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
    granite:class="granite-ui-validation-multifield-max-items"
    validation="max-items-2"
    sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"
    composite="{Boolean}true"
    fieldLabel="Navigation Links">
    <field
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container"
        name="./navLinks">
        <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
            <linkLabel
                jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/textfield"
                fieldLabel="Link Label"
                name="./linkLabel"
                required="true"/>
            <linkPath
                jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/pathfield"
                fieldLabel="Link Path"
                name="./linkPath"
                required="true"
                rootPath="/content"/>
            <linkTarget
                jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select"
                fieldLabel="CTA Link Target"
                name="./linkTarget">
                <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
                    <self
                        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                        selected="{Boolean}true"
                        text="Same Page"
                        value="_self"/>
                    <blank
                        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                        text="New Tab"
                        value="_blank"/>
                </items>
            </linkTarget>
        </items>
    </field>
</navigationLinksMultifield>

Thanks for your reply. I have tried with granite type but the hidden fields are still storing in the jcr:content node. Even after deleting all the multifield section from the dialog, the hidden fields are not getting deleted.  Can you tell me what could be the issue?

[arunpatidar]

I will try this and let you know
