Form Option with Datasource throws error | getItems throws null while override

[ckj0369]

Hi Team,

I'm trying to overlay form option.java to get the data in json format using exporter framework. However, everything works as expected with the override and to get items data I've used:

@Override
    public List<OptionItem> getItems() {
        return superSelf.getItems();
    }

This method throws error when option is selected from Datasource ERROR [OptionsImpl.java] Failed to include the datasource at weretail/components/form/options/datasource/countriesdatasource org.apache.sling.api.request.RecursionTooDeepException Same works fine with Local and List.

Also raised here: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/form-option-datasource-error-in-getitems/qaq-p/401455#M87221

Above is the error from the log when we use datasource, any idea ?

@ckj0369 Were you able to solve this? I'm experiencing the same issue.

Thanks.
