Creating an AEM HTML Template Language 6.3 component that uses a Multifield

You can create an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.3 Touch UI component that can be used within the AEM Touch UI view. Furthermore, you can use the AEM HTML Template Language (HTL - formally known as Sightly) to develop the AEM component. For example, consider an author whom enters information into a multi-field control in the component's dialog, as shown in this illustration.


NOTE:  This article uses the Granite Multi-field (granite/ui/components/foundation/form/multifield). To learn how to use the Coral multi-field (granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield), see Creating a Coral 3 Multifield HTML Template Language component for Adobe Experience Manager.

Added an new package for AEM 6.3 that included a RTE

Based on community feedback - such as https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2379678, we added a separate package that contains a RTE in the Multifield. It works - see: 

This is the JCR node structure now:

Notice that the RTE data is stored as JSON data under the page: 

You can see this by installing the second package that is part of this article
