Hi Community,I’m looking for suggestions and best practices around importing Salsify product data into AEM, specifically for creating or updating Content Fragments.Current ArchitectureSalsify product data is exported and stored in AEM DAM as .txt files. AEM Workflow is triggered on these DAM assets The workflow: Reads the Salsify JSON Creates Product Pages Sets product properties on the pages based on the JSON This approach is currently page‑centric, driven by workflow logicNew / Evolving RequirementWe are exploring a shift to:Content Fragments as the primary product data source Importing product data via: CSV files where one or more columns contain Salsify JSON, or Directly from JSON assets Mapping Salsify attributes to Content Fragment Models Supporting re‑imports / updates (idempotent behavior)What I’m Looking ForI’d appreciate guidance on:Recommended patterns for CSV/JSON → Content Fragment creation Whether workflows are still the preferred approach, or if: Custom servlets Sc

We are using the WCM Core component PDF Viewer (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-core-components/using/wcm-components/pdf-viewer) on our site to improve the pdf experience of our customers but we are getting analytics cookies coming along for the ride:acrobatservices.adobe.comdc-api.adobe.iop.typekit.netp13n.adobe.iouse.typekit.netviewlicense.adobe.ioObviously we need to make sure if the users disables analytic cookies in our cookie consent manager that these cookies don’t get dropped.This isn’t a problem for js that we managed in Adobe Tags, we have rules to wire it up to the consent manager but im not sure how to go about wiring up these cookies from this core component.Any ideas?

Hi,I have come across a problem, where the checkbox which is on Static tagged PDF, is not read correctly by screen readers such as voice over.It reads the title, but not if the checkbox is checked /unchecked. The static PDF which is tagged, as cross mark on the check box, but voice over is not able to recognize it and read it aloud. hence it reads only the title of the checkbox. Please note: The static pdf is rendered using outputservice.generatePDF API and is tagged. NVDA screen reader, is reading check box  unavailable  checked  read only, after the title is read aloud. But Voice over and acrobat pro read aloud is not able to recognize this.Anyone seen this issue before.?

1. DescriptionWhen an AEM author uses the "Convert to Experience Fragment Variation" action from the page editor, the OOTB servlet ConvertToExperienceFragmentVariation (from bundle com.adobe.cq.cq-experience-fragments) hardcodes the sling:resourceType on the converted component node to:cq/experience-fragments/editor/components/experiencefragment This prevents us from using our custom brand-specific Experience Fragment component during and after conversion. There is currently no extension point, OSGi hook, or request parameter to override this value. . Steps to ReproduceOpen any AEM page in the page editor. Right-click a component (e.g. Hero component). Select "Convert to Experience Fragment Variation". Fill in the conversion dialog and click Submit. Observe the POST request sent to:            /libs/cq/experience-fragments/content/v2/conversion/converterOpen CRXDE Lite and inspect the converted component node. Observe that sling:resourceType is hardcoded to the OOTB value. Expected vs.

I wanted to understand whether this is advisable for PII data to be stored within AEM, and what the recommended best practices are.Some of the questions we’re exploring:Is it recommended to store PII in AEMaaCS, even in encrypted form? How does Adobe protect sensitive data at rest and in transit within AEMaaCS? Are there any Adobe guidelines on handling PII in JCR repositories? How is it protected from any external attack threats? Can we implement custom encryption (e.g., using an OSGi service) before storing data? Are there recommended alternatives, such as storing the PII in a secured backend system instead of AEM?Would appreciate insights from Adobe experts and the community on the right architectural approach for handling PII securely in AEMaaCS.

Hi Team,We are observing a very high volume of requests hitting AEM internal Granite APIs:/libs/granite/csrf/token.json (~618K requests, ~19%) /libs/granite/security/currentuser.json (~300K requests, ~9.3%)Together, these endpoints account for nearly 29% of total traffic in our logs.We understand these endpoints are used for authentication/session handling, but this volume seems unusually high and is impacting overall traffic patterns.We would like guidance on:Is this level of traffic expected for these endpoints in Adobe Experience Manager (especially Cloud Service)? What are the recommended best practices to reduce or optimize calls to these APIs?      Dispatcher/CDN rules? Frontend implementation improvements? Could this indicate a misconfiguration (e.g., frequent polling, missing caching, or bot traffic)? Are there Adobe-recommended patterns to minimize repeated CSRF token and current user calls? Any insights or similar experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

Are there recommendations/best practices to manage content as code.One of the team I work with mentioned this as their problem statement “Our code gets deployed through Cloud Manager but our QA cannot test anything yet nor can automated regression tests be triggered through Continuous Test Pipelines because they have to wait until content is authored.”The human element in the process feels like a huge bottle neck in the process as it is hindering immediate feedback loop.I am trying to understand what strategies other enterprises who use AEM have implemented in their SDLC process.For example in a sprint, if the code and content are planned to be delivered together, cant the content creators(BA/Business) be ready with the content that go in with the fragments that get deployed as part of code

I have a repeatable panel in an Adaptive form built on core components, with a remove button inside the panel and an add button outside. When I use the rule editor to configure the remove button to delete a panel instance, it consistently removes the panel below the one I selected. For example, if I add three panels and try to delete panel 2, panel 3 gets deleted instead. While this could have been resolved using the Code editor, that option isn't available to me. My constraints are that we're working within a headless delivery model, so I can't use guidebridge, and custom JS functions aren't feasible because they would require passing the SOM expression, making the JS form-specific. Given these limitations, I would appreciate any suggestions on how to address this issue. 

How do I create a custom API on AEM so that any external system (ex: postman, curl) can access the API via some authentication(OAUTH/SAML). Once the handshake is done external system needs to send AEM some data, AEM will do some business process and pass a response.

hi,I am trying to create an adaptive form using form template (xdp) (foundation components) on aem 6.5.The issue is after creating adaptive form using xdp, the data source is not populating  Even though an XDP is referenced in this form, it shows blank and the error.log as following errors:19.03.2026 13:56:52.576 *ERROR* [10.238.22.152 [1773924978316] GET /content/forms/af/FOFO/adaptive-forms/A123-abc/jcr:content/guideContainer.xfajson HTTP/1.1] com.adobe.aemds.guide.xfa.XFAJSONTransformer Error in transforming xfa json:nulljava.lang.NullPointerException: null19.03.2026 13:56:52.577 *ERROR* [10.238.22.152 [1773924978316] GET /content/forms/af/FOFO/adaptive-forms/A123-abc/jcr:content/guideContainer.xfajson HTTP/1.1] com.adobe.aemds.guide.service.impl.GuideModelImporterImpl Error in importing Xfa Jsoncom.adobe.aemds.guide.service.GuideException: null at com.adobe.aemds.guide.xfa.XFAJSONTransformer.transform(XFAJSONTransformer.java:104) [com.adobe.aemds.guide.aemds-guide-core:6.0.688] at

Edge Delivery Services has changed the game for Lighthouse scores, but the authoring experience is now the big conversation. I’m looking to gather some real-world perspectives on the best 'flavor' of authoring for AEM Edge Delivery Services (EDS).​i see we have three distinct paths and I'd love to hear from anyone who has moved between them:​Pure Document Authoring (Google Drive/SharePoint): The speed is unmatched, but how are you handling complex governance at scale?​DA.live (Document Authoring): Is this the 'Goldilocks' zone for asset integration, or does it add an unnecessary layer?​Universal Editor with AEM Sites: For those who need MSM and heavy localization, does the performance of EDS still feel 'magical' when coming from a full AEM Cloud Service backend?​Which combination have you found offers the best balance of author velocity and developer sanity? Looking forward to your insights!" 

We are running an EDS implementation using document-based authoring via da.live with Fastly CDN. Our blog section uses three custom blocks:blog-grid — paginated card listing with category filtering, tag colour mapping, and authorDate sorting page-list — sidebar block surfacing the most recent posts for the current category cards — category navigation iconsContent is authored in da.live and published through the standard EDS content bus. The query index URL is resolved dynamically at runtime via /config.json using getConfigValue('query-index').The Problem:All three blocks render entirely client-side via JavaScript. On the initial HTTP response, the page shell delivered to crawlers looks like this:html<div class="blog-grid"> <div><div>Pagination-limit</div><div>10</div></div> <div><div>Title</div><div>Category Name</div></div> <div><div>Guides</div><div>bg-guides</div></div&g

Hi All,AEM: 6.5.12I’m encountering this issue for the first time. I’m currently using the AEM OOTB Sitemap generator for testing purposes. However, when I try to use the scheduler approach, the job gets stuck and doesn't trigger. please refer below screenshot.  The logs don’t provide much information. I’ve attempted to create the scheduler through /system/console/ConfigMgr and even added a run mode, but it still doesn’t work. However, the "On Demand" approach works perfectly fine. I checked from status-slingsitemap and it appears as scheduled.I've done the the following actions:- re-index from oak:index -> slingSitemap- Adding  the config to be placed "/apps/system/conf/ (didn't work)- Adding runmode config (didn't work).- flushing classloader (didn't work).Is there a way to know if the scheduler got stuck somehow?. if so, do you know the path where I can check it?. Previosly, it was working fine but not sure what changed. 

Hi All, I am trying to set up universal editor in my local and usinig AEM Cloud Service SDK (aem-sdk-2025.9.22758.20250928T092442Z-250900) for local development.I have done below set upAEM - http running on port 4502AEM - https running on port 8443Local universal editor service running on port 8000Trusted the local certificate in the browser for self signed certificatesThe problem I am facing is,when I try to load AEM page running on https (port 8443) inside universal editor, it gives this error "Blocked autofocusing on a <input> element in a cross-origin subframe." I followed whats mentioned in this document - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/developing/universal-editor/developer-overview?lang=en for same site cookie settings but it doesn't help and I continue getting the cross origin error.
