Best approach to manage drop-down values

Hi All,

 

I am quite new to CQ world. I was trying to understand what's the best way to manage drop-down values for a dialog box.

Should it be managed via OSGI configuration or through data node properties.

 

Thanks,

A.S.

Hi Anjani,

You might want to take a look at http://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/generic-lists.html, which is a way to allow drop-down lists to be easily authorable content.

Regards,

Justin

Typically a drop-down control is managed by the component's JavaScript. You can populate a drop-down control by using a JavaScript method. See this community article to learn how to create an AEM component with a drop-down and populate it using JavaScript:

You can dynamically update a drop-down list by calling an OSGi bundle operation. But in this use case - the OSGi bundle operation returns a data set that is displayed in a drop-down control - it does not manage it.
