I have a safecracker form, which submits basic data to a channel. When I submit a new form all of the data gets saved fine but when I edit the form only the title and categories are saving, none of the custom field edits are saved. No errors, the form looks like it is saving but just doesn’t update the custom field info. Any help greatly appreciated.

EE Version v2.1.3
SC Version 2.0.0

ethetree,

Steps I recommend are upgrading EE to latest release which is EE2.2.1 and then reducing your form to th e basics like so. I also moved your success conditional outside of form

Let us know know you get on

The problem actually turned out to be that I had a custom field in the channel called categories but I was not using that field on the form but rather the actual channel categories. When I removed the categories custom field the form edits started saving. Maybe all custom fields need to be present on the form even if you are not changing anything?

Hmm… that shouldn’t be the case. The way SafeCracker is supposed to work, it should just ignore fields that are in the channel but not present in the form. Could you elaborate for me a bit? What was the name of the Channel Field you used for categories? Did you have any reference to it in the form, or was the form referencing the Channel Categories? In the steps you took that got the form working, I understand that you deleted the Channel Field meant for categories. Did you also have to modify the form at all?
