Hi,
I am facing an issue when having a selectbox with a custom datasource in a multifield.
When the dialog with this multifield is open the first time (no data for the multifield are present in the repo) then the dialog opens. The editor is able to select items in the selectboxes, add new selectboxes inside the multifield and so on. But when the dialog gets closed and the data are saved in the repo and the editor tries to open this dialog again, a javascript error occors and the dialog does not open anymore.
The interesting thing is, when I have the same dialog configuration but the selectbox has static items instead of a custom dataset then everything works fine.
Not working dialog configuration:
<myCustomMultifield
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"
composite="{Boolean}true"
required="{Boolean}true"
fieldLabel="My Custom Multifield">
<field
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select"
emptyOption="{Boolean}true"
name="./selectBoxValues">
<datasource
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="/path-to-my-custom-datasource-servlet"/>
</field>
</lexicon-substance-references>
Working dialog configuration without custom datasource:
<myCustomMultifield
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"
composite="{Boolean}true"
required="{Boolean}true"
fieldLabel="My Custom Multifield">
<field
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select"
emptyOption="{Boolean}true"
name="./selectBoxValues">
<items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<item1
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
text="Item 1"
value="item1"/>
<item2
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
text="Item 2"
value="item2"/>
<item3
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
text="Item 3"
value="item3"/>
</items>
</field>
</lexicon-substance-references>
Here the javascript error:
Uncaught TypeError: g is null

Has anybody an idea how to solve this problem? Or is this a know bug?

@Reini - Can you try this dialog?

Hi @aemninja ,
I can see the same issue when I use your code 1:1. But then I tried to include your solution into my existing dialog and then I was able to open the dialog also when some values in the selectbox were available in the repo. But the problem is, that the selectboxes are not filled with that values. Everytime I opened the dialog, the multifield was empty and no items where preselected.

Hi @aemninja ,
I do not think that the servlet is the issue because everything works fine when the selectbox is used "standalone" (not in a multifield).
But here a simplified version of the servlet
List<Resource> datasourceList = new ArrayList<>(); ValueMap valueMapDecorator; valueMapDecorator = new ValueMapDecorator(new HashMap<>()); valueMapDecorator.put("text", "text1"); valueMapDecorator.put("value", "value1); datasourceList.add(new ValueMapResource(request.getResourceResolver(), new ResourceMetadata(), "nt:unstructured", valueMapDecorator)); valueMapDecorator = new ValueMapDecorator(new HashMap<>()); valueMapDecorator.put("text", "text2"); valueMapDecorator.put("value", "value2); datasourceList.add(new ValueMapResource(request.getResourceResolver(), new ResourceMetadata(), "nt:unstructured", valueMapDecorator)); final DataSource dataSource = new SimpleDataSource(datasourceList.iterator()); request.setAttribute(DataSource.class.getName(), dataSource);

Hi @Vijayalakshmi_S,
I am not sure if I get your question the correct way. But I am using a servlet which uses the code listed in the previous comment (https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/selectbox-with-dynamic-dat...).

Hi,
this depends on the value of "composite" property. If the property is set to "true" then the selected items are saved this way:
+ component + selectBoxValues + item0 - selectBoxValues = "value1" + item1 - selectBoxValues = "value2"
If composite=false, then the values are saved this way:
+ component - selectBoxValues = ["value1", "value2"]
For me it seems to be exactly the same behaviour compared when I am using "static items" instead of the datasource.
regards
Reini
