When setting up a grid field we can either choose the plus to set up a fresh field or copy over the previous one’s settings to save time by clicking the document copy icon. Try copying a field with a textarea and it’s settings and you’ll see that EE is assuming a test field.
Thanks, Kurt, we’ll have this fixed in the next release!
Update… OK… so EE is offering the copy button before the sub-field has been saved the first time; at the bottom. Maybe that shouldn’t show up as an option until after the first field has been saved.
I’m not too sure what you mean here. Are you saying you shouldn’t be able to clone columns until you’ve saved a column?
I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be able to, I’m saying that you can’t, because EE will change the field type on you and when it does, you lose your settings. Oh… darn spell-check.
Textarea field gets changed to text field during the cloning. That make more sense? Spellcheck was trying to help me out in the first post.
