touch UI dialog with Object Array ?

[ryuatnorcal]

Hello Community

I have a question about touch UI Dialog.

I am try to make a field that contain text and url ( or id in the page ). It can be populated depend on what the author wants.

I found String [] type but If I use the string [] type, text and url won't be together. So it can give mismatch result.

If there were Object [] or similar to that, I think I can do like

     Object []

          - String : text

          - String : url

Use case can be listed link.

Do you know how to make the Dialog ?

Thank you for the help!

I would use a MF in a Touch UI where an author can enter a String and URL value for each section that want to add.

Each MF would contain:

- String : text

- String : url

As shown here - a MF can contain many text fields.

Then you can read the data fields on the backend of the component and place them into a collection object.

Thanks you, smacdonald2008​!

I was google around a bit and found ACS-common package tho

Do I need to install the ACS-common to use Multifield or it comes with granite-ui ?

Thanks!
