Limit tags selection to certian number in AEM 6.0

Limit tags selection to certian number in AEM 6.0

I see some people have written javascript to limit tags selection to certian number in tags field, but actually there is a OOTB functionality to achieve this and this post will explain how to use OOTB functionality to limit tags selection to certain number

Step 1:

I am going to follow below structure to create tag field but you can use your own strcuture to limit tags selection to certain number, here the tag field node name is categorys

Step 2:

the below properties are created for tag field ( categorys )node

Step 3:

Create node called "namespaces" under your tag field in my case I created under categorys field

The primary type for "namespaces" node is "cq:widgetcollection"

Create a separate node in "namespaces" node and provide whatever name you want, here I given "categorynm"


Step 4:

the below properties are created for tag field "categorynm" node

The "maximum" property plays major role here and this property will limit the number of tags selection and displays error message while authoring
