Radio button value persists but not retrieved in touch UI dialog

[angthefire]

I have a set of radio buttons (top, center and bottom). My requirement is such that I have used the property "checked" as true to show "center" as the selected one when the component is dragged and dropped on the page.

If I open the dialog, selects the radio button "top" and click submit, I am getting the value as "top" in my html page. But, if I reopen the dialog, the "center" button is selected instead of "top".

As per requirement, I can't change the order of radio button as well as default selection.

If you look at docs - you can set default - Radio — Granite UI 1.0 documentation

Have you tried that?

Hi smacdonald2008,

Thanks for the reply.

The issue here is not with setting the default value. Let me try to explain the issue with the help of some snapshots.

The above snapshot shows the selection of "center" radio button (which I achieved via checked(boolean) property).

I selected the "Top" radio button and clicked submit.

Now if I reopen the dialog, I see the following:

I hope the question is more clear than before.

Thanks

You see that because it has the prop checked. Therefore each time you open a dialog - the checked property is used, This would be the same for any form that has a radio group and one radio option is set as default. As a result, each time an author opens the dialog and wants another value, they will have to select either Top or Bottom.

Below is the structure which I used and work. You can refer

{
"jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured",
"personalyes": {
"jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured",
"name": "./myValue",
"text": "Yes",
"value": "yes",
"sling:resourceType": "granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radio"
},
"personalno": {
"jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured",
"name": "./myValue",
"text": "No",
"value": "no",
"sling:resourceType": "granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radio"
},
"defaultvalue": {
"jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured",
"name": "./myValue@DefaultValue",
"value": "no",

I used coral3 radio granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/radiogroup

working for me as expecting without adding extra node/property

[Rajalakshmi]

Hi @arunpatidar , 

This solution works fine but it causes another issue, "vertical {Boolean} false" property is not working for coral radio button. Can you help me in this.

Thanks.

[arunpatidar]

This is known issue, you need to right custom css. e.g.

<radiogroup
 granite:class="granite-dialog-radio--horizontal"
 jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
 sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/radiogroup"/>

CSS

/* Display granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/radiogroup items in horizontal layout */
.coral-Form-field.granite-dialog-radio--horizontal.coral-RadioGroup .coral3-Radio {
    display: inline-block;
}

[Rajalakshmi]

Thanks @arunpatidar this worked fine.

As per the documentation - RadioGroup — Granite UI 1.0 documentation, you can try the following -

<testRadioGroup
     jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
     sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radiogroup"
     ignoreData="{Boolean}false"
     text="Test Radio"
     vertical="{Boolean}true">
     <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
        <option1
           jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
           sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radio"
           checked="{Boolean}true"
           name="./testRadio"
           text="Option 1"
           value="option1"/>
        <option2
           jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
           sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radio"
           name="./testRadio"
           text="Option 2"
           value="option2"/>
     </items>
</testRadioGroup>

I tested this on AEM 6.4 and it is working fine for me. The trick has been done by the ignoreData property. Happy coding

Hi Anirudh,

Can you set the checked property on the second option and test the same.

We are facing the same issue and looking for a solution for it ASAP.

We are still using 6.2 and I am sure that AEM version has nothing to do with it because the granite version is the same.

[kenccwong]

It looks like /libs/granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radio/radio.jsp is not following the specification correctly. What it does is first checks if "checked" property is available, if not available then it will check if "ignoreData" is set to false in the parent radio group.

Workaround is to create an overlay and add an additional check to see if a value is set.

    if (cfg.get("checked", String.class) != null && val.getContentValue(name) == "") {
        // providing "checked" in configuration results in ignoring content data
        attrs.addChecked(cfg.get("checked", false));
    } else if (!cfg.getInherited("ignoreData", false)) {
        // mark checked if content value equals config value
        attrs.addChecked(val.getContentValue(name).equals(value));
    }

this worked for  /libs/granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radio/radio.jsp.

but is there anything when we use /libs/granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/radiogroup in aem 6.4.

[dorianhallward]

@kenccwong in AEM 6.4. /libs/granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radio/radio.jsp is marked as granite:FinalArea which i think means this component should not be overlaid (?).

(Stumbled upon this thread looking for explanation of why saved values are not shown (and subsequently get overwritten when 2 or more radio groups are used in a multifield).
