Hi all,

I've been looking in the community to find the solution but I couldn't, every problem that I saw in threads had the same answer: look into helpx documents, but they're not the solution they are just tutorials and I followed them, still not working. It working on html but when I wanted to edit the values dialog opens in empty shape. I'm sharing my dialog's content.xml. Should I implement an editconfig dialog?

Best regards,

Ogün Adsay.

Ok, honestly I didn't watch the video but I found a component example which is working with multifields. I have used this document: Building Experience Manager Components using Granite/Coral Resource Types and downloaded ready to use component: https://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/en/experience-manager/using/aem64_coral_resourcetypes/_jcr_content/main-pars/do…

I'm currently working on extending it for my purposes.

Thanks all!

For that article - go through all of it for best experience. Then in MF section - you just need to update dialgo and change Java logic - it all works

Thanks all for the responses. I saw ACS Commons a couple of times, but I couldn't understand what it is. Is it sometehing like a framework or library? How do I install/use it?

Seems no better way to show you that a granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield works then in a video.

We recommend in 6.3/6.4 that you use granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield.

Building Experience Manager Components using Granite/Coral Resource Types

When working with granite/coral - the mf data is stored as nodes under the page.

There is no need to worry about JSON, loading ACS-COMMONS, or other issues that were presents with granite Multifields (as opposed to granite/coral multifields)
