Title, URL Title, and custom text area fields are not passing through the FieldFacade save and post_save methods
Developer Preview
As the title states, those fields appear to not be passing through those methods. I’m seeing data for the publish date, channel, and other entry meta data, but a custom text area field, title, and url_title are not utilizing those methods, thus they are not getting passed to the custom_field_modify_data hook. See the attached image. I step debugged it and can confirm I never saw the values for the mentioned fields pass through these save and post_save methods.
Edit: I think I see what is happening. If the ft.textarea.php or any other ft file does not have a post_save method then it doesn’t get called by the custom_field_modify_data hook?
We try not to call save() on the fieldtype unless its data has changed, that’s probably what you’re seeing. Try changing the title and saving and see what happens.
Ah, ok. That makes sense. I’ll give it a go when I get a chance.
Indeed. They fire correctly if the value changes. Thanks for the help!
Excellent, sure thing!
