Pathfield search not working properly on AEM 6.3

Hi community,

I'm currently working on a site implementation with AEM 6.3. We have a dialog that is using granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/pathfield, this is how the code looks like:

<multifieldcollection
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"
fieldDescription="Click + to add a new page/asset" 
fieldLabel="Add new Page/Asset for static entries"
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" 
composite="{Boolean}true">
<field 
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container"
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" 
name="./staticPathsConfig">
<items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<linkurl
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/pathfield"
fieldLabel="Page/Asset Path"
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" 
                                             filter="nosystem,hierarchyNotFile"
rootPath="/content"
name="./path" />
</items>
</field>
</multifieldcollection>

When the user tries to use the search for the pathfield, seems like on the results is showing jcr and metadata nodes which is not correct for an author user. We are expecting to see only pages and assets as a results of the search:

Are we missing something here or this is how the widget is supposed to work? If that the case how can we configured it to only display assets and pages?

Thanks,

David.

          Exactly, that's what I mean. I think search is now working correct on the Pathfield, you should be able to find only pages or assets as an author user (not child nodes as jcr or metadata nodes).

            Can you pls remove filter and try. something like this 

            <linkurl

               jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

               sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/pathfield"

               fieldLabel="Link Url"

               name="./path"

               rootPath="/content"

               suffix=".html"/>

            remove suffix if not needed.

              I tried that before, but it was producing the same behaviour. Filter does not make any difference on how the search is working for pathfield. You can check the code if you want.
