Touch UI dialog losing edit/config options

[will-x]

We're running AEM 6.3-SP2 on a Linux environment and we have a recurring--but intermittent--problem with configuring our component dialogs in the Touch UI environment.

The issue is that periodically ALL components will have their edit options removed, just leaving the Insert and Group options.

We can fix the problem by simply editing any component's cq:editConfig/@cq:actions property through the CRXDE and saving.

This is an example of a typical one of our component's cq:editConfig node configurations:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0"

    jcr:primaryType="cq:EditConfig"

    cq:actions="[text:Settings,-,EDIT,DELETE,COPYMOVE]"

    cq:disableTargeting="true" />

Classic UI is unaffected.

What is causing the Touch UI component to lose edit options and how can we make desired options permanent?

Are you seeing any log messages.

Also - when you fix the issue via:

editing any component's cq:editConfig/@cq:actions property through the CRXDE and saving.

Are you seeing the issue occur on the same dialog?

> Are you seeing any log messages

Yes. A couple of warnings, but this TypeError is thrown in the console and looks related:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'popover' of undefined

    at HTMLElement._onLayout (coralui2.min.js:48912)

    at MutationObserver.<anonymous> (coralui2.min.js:48822)

_onLayout @ coralui2.min.js:48912

(anonymous) @ coralui2.min.js:48822

> Are you seeing the issue occur on the same dialog?

Yes. Basically the problem seems to affect ALL Touch UI dialogs at once and then fixing it for one dialog--any dialog--then fixes it for all dialogs.

Also: it does seem like this might be deployment-related--although we haven't quite got that proven yet--but again, we don't have to change any code/config to fix it--just open the cq:editConfig and re-save.

Can you check if your source control has the node removed or otherwise if its excluded in "filter.xml"  which removes it when you deploy code to crx?

Good thought, but this isn't the problem. The configuration saved in our _cq_editConfig.xml files is definitely getting set in the JCR on deployment; no issues with the filter.xml config.

Hi Will-x,

We are experiencing exactly the same issue.

Your quick fix is also working for us as you described.

Were you able to find a more permanent solution for this problem?

Seeing the same issue across both development and stage on our AEM 6.5.12.0 instances, while working in Touch UI over this last week: "The issue is that periodically ALL components will have their edit options removed, just leaving the Insert and Group options."
