Multifields disappears when re-edited

[amyspod]

Hi,

I'm having an issue with multifields that were edited and populated with values disappear when when I go back and re-edit them.  Is there a fix for this issue?  Here is my xml for the multifield tab:

  <data2 jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" jcr:title="SOCIAL MEDIA2" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/section">

  <layout jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/layouts/fixedcolumns" margin="{Boolean}false"/>

  <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

  <column jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/container">

  <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

  <fieldset jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/fieldset">

  <layout jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/layouts/fixedcolumns"/>

  <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

  <column jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/container">

  <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

  <help-text jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/heading" text="Click 'Add Field' to add a new card" level="4" />

  <cards jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield">

  <field jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/fieldset" name="./socialblock">

  <layout jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/layouts/fixedcolumns" method="absolute"/>

  <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

  <heading3 jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/heading" text="Social Media Block" level="3"/>

  <socialicon cq:showOnCreate="{Boolean}true" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select" fieldLabel="Social Icon" multiple="{Boolean}false" required="true" emptyText="- Select Icon -" name="./socialicon">

  <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

  </socialicon>

  <labelurl jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/textfield" required="{Boolean}true" fieldLabel="External URL" name="./socialurl"/>

  <target4 cq:showOnCreate="{Boolean}true" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select" fieldLabel="Target" required="true" ordered="true" multiple="{Boolean}false" emptyText="- Select -" name="./socialtarget">

  <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

  <one jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" text="Blank" value="_blank"/>

  <two jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" text="Self" value="_self"/>

  <three jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" text="Parent" value="_parent"/>

  <four jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" text="Top" value="_top"/>

  </items>

Hi,

I see that you are using AEM 6.3 coral multifield and also : sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield

Along with that please use ACS Commons package for Multi-field which is said in this article: Creating an AEM HTML Template Language 6.3 component that uses a Multifield

Also please see this article: AEM 6.3 : Coral 3 multifield component - Keys and Strokes

Hi Ratna,

I'm facing same issue with the dialog field, but not able to open the ACS commomns package link. giving 404 for all.

Could you please share the valid link?

Ratna is correct - use ACS-Commons and build your Multifield that way. Here is another example where it stores the values:
