Symptoms

Multivalued Text Attribute Lags While Typing Each Character by Making Repeated ContentServer Calls.  This issue was originally reported against  12.2.1.2.0 in BUG 26327335 - "Multivalued text attribute lags while typing each character."

When using a MultiValue Attribute of type String, the developer tool's Network Trace shows a POST call after each keystroke in the value field to the CKEditor, which is causing latency issues for content contributors.

Test Environment
11.1.1.8.0 Patch 21
Using FSII

Use Case to reproduce issue:

1. Login to FirstSiteII as fwadmin
2. Create a Content Attribute multi value attribute called "test" of type string.
3. Create a Content Definition called  "MyDef" with attribute created in step 2
4. Now go to contributor UI.. Create Content ... Select Mydef definition, select the out of the box Layout and save.
5. Open the Developer Tools from browser.
6. Type one charactor at a time in the test attribute.
7. Observe entries In the Network tab of browser


OBSERVATION:
1)  A POST entry is made after each keystroke:

        "postData": {
          "mimeType": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
          "params": [
            {
              "name": "pagename",
              "value": "fatwire/ui/controller/controller"
            },
            {
              "name": "elementName",
              "value": "UI/Data/CKEditor/Renderer"
            },
            {
              "name": "responseType",
              "value": "text"
            },
            {
              "name": "fieldData",
              "value": "t"
            },
            {
              "name": "deviceid",
              "value": ""
            },
            {
              "name": "renderedData",
              "value": ""
            }
          ],
          "text": "pagename=fatwire/ui/controller/controller&elementName=UI/Data/CKEditor/Renderer&responseType=text&fieldData=t&deviceid=&renderedData="
        }
