AEM TouchUI Components dialog

Question

I have multiple components that use another component as a child, not to generate all the content but it is a child component we recognized needed to be used multiple times so we created a child component that is being included:

The problem that I have run into is that in TouchUI the children component does not render its edit dialog when prompted. Has anyone run into this issue? Is there an extra property that must be set and that I may be missing or is this not allowed for touchUI?

I have tried to activate different components that may provide this feature but the ones that come close edit extra information in tabs rather than allowing them to act independently. This may be more of a ClassicUI use.

We have run into the same issue, in Touch UI sub nodes for child components are not created properly, we forced the creation of sub nodes and it worked, I know that there is a patch for that that daycare provided us, it was supposed to be fixed in SP2 but I guess not, here are the known issues from 6.1 https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/release-notes/known-issues.html It seems that the problem may still persist, they talk about forcing the node in the template but the same work around work for sub nodes of a component.

See section Sites:
