AEM Assets: Title field missing when editing tags with special characters
If the Title field appears blank when you edit a tag in Adobe
Experience Manager (AEM) Assets, the tag likely contains characters that
aren’t supported in the underlying repository node name. Use only supported
characters in the tag title to avoid or resolve this issue.
Description description
Environment
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets
Issue/Symptoms
When you create or edit a tag in AEM Assets, using certain special characters in the tag Title can cause the Title field to appear blank the next time you open the tag for editing.
Cause
This happens because tags in AEM are stored as JCR nodes, which require node names to follow naming conventions. Unsupported special characters in the tag Title can result in the Title field being missing or blank in the user interface.
Resolution resolution
Try the following steps to solve the issue:
- When creating or editing tags in AEM Assets, avoid using special characters in the Title field.
- Ensure that tag node names only include supported characters: lowercase letters (
a-z), uppercase letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscore (_), and dash/minus (-). - If you have already created a tag with unsupported special characters and the Title field is blank when editing, delete the tag and recreate it using only supported characters.
- For future improvements or changes to tag validation, monitor the official Adobe Experience Manager release notes and documentation.
