Description

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a dialog with only a multifield
2. Add it to page

4. Update via sidebar

Current result
Currently, when you save via dialog correct values are saved, but a rogue save wipes data.

Thanks for noticing the issue.

Bit of a problem now, any official way to disable sidebar?

Can't deploy and edit content afterward as it disappears.

This is just clicking on components without any updates, it's just wiping content.

Sidepanel should be doing PATCH requests only to update fields as they come out of focus. Right not it's just doing silly stuff.

Hi, the quickest workaround, for now, would be using "ws:disallowedContext": ["edit:panel"] property on multifield:
For example:

    "elements": {
        "sling:resourceType": "wcm/dialogs/components/multifield",
        "name": "elements",
        "label": "Elements",
        "ws:disallowedContext": ["edit:panel"],
        "labelText": {
          "sling:resourceType": "wcm/dialogs/components/textfield",
          "name": "label",
          "label": "Label"
    }

The field would be not available in the side panel, but still it would be possible to edit it in the dialog.
