Generic Multifield DAM Asset Dialog

[tmastalirsch-tlv]

Hi guys,

it is there a possibility to use your multifield also within the meta data editor for asset dialog ?

Hello @tmastalirsch-tlv,

you could always try to apply a generic multifield via a metadata schema definition.
We would encourage you to test it out and give us feedback.

regards,
Mike

Hello @MichaelHeil,

I add to the default AEM metadata schema definition by a video for example and added the field like in your description here in your repo

content xml under path --> /conf/global/settings/dam/adminui-extension/metadataschema/default/video
when i will open the dialog, you will see in the below image

I get the following error messages

{
    "referer": "http://localhost:12100/mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/assets/metadataeditor.external.html?item=/content/dam/Test.mp4&_charset_=utf-8",
    "path": "/mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/assets/undefined/items/2_1736879587909",
    "parentLocation": "/mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/assets/undefined/items",
    "location": "/mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/assets/undefined/items/2_1736879587909",
    "status.message": "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: create 'undefined' at /mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/assets",
    "title": "Error while processing /mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/assets/undefined/items/2_1736879587909",

        "message": "create 'undefined' at /mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/assets"
    },
    "changes": []
}

Can you help me ? :)

I have found out that the form in the meta data editor does not have “action” as an attribute but a “data-formid”.
This means that in your CUI.GenericMultifield.js in line 52
by this part:

this.crxPath = this.$element.parents("form").attr("action") ?? (this.$element.parents("form").attr("data-formid") + "/jcr:content");

You would have to add jcr:content to the crxPath in the asset editor.

Is it possible to implement this for the use case?
