AEM 6.3: createpagewizard clientlib form validation issue

[Jdruwe]

I have written a custom clientlib that fills in the title on the creation of a page based on the name of the page.

What you get by default: no title --> create button disabled

What you get if you type a title manually --> create button enabled

What you get if you try to set te value using a clientlib --> create button IS disabled but value set in the textField

This is my clientlib code:

setTimeout(setTitle, 3000);
function setTitle() {
 let title = document.querySelector(titleTextFieldSelector);
 title.value = "Value from clientlib";
}

If I remove the timeout and let it execute straight away the value also gets populated and the button is enabled. Why is this happening if I use a timeout?

NOTE: I am using a timeout here instead of the on input event on the name field just to keep things simple for this post

Thanks in advance!

Can you log the value of title variable inside setTitle() when using settimeout, I doubt if DOM element you are using is ready when it execute.

I found the following validation logic:

As you can see the "change" event on an input field will trigger the validation logic to run. So what i've done is triggered the change event from code:

$(titleTextFieldSelector).trigger("change");

Now the button will be enabled
