Greetings,

I just noticed today that my multiselect content in extended fields is no longer saving. I have a field group that has a dropdown, two textedit fields and two multiselect. The other fields are saving, but the multiselect no longer does. It was working a few days ago.

Ive just upgraded to 2.6.1 a few days ago but not sure if this was the culprit.

Ive searched around online but didnt find anything very useful. I did see a k2.js hack which I tried which should do something about field sync, but that didnt help.

Any advice would be appreciated.
p.

Looking into the DB i find something strange.

In the latest content, this is what the extended fields contains:

[{"id":"2","value":"1"},{"id":"3","value":"erer.mp4"},{"id":"4","value":"erer.mp3"},{"id":"6","value":"Array"},{"id":"7","value":"Array"}]

Where fields with ID 6 & 7 are the multiselect.

Looking at working content, you can see that the "Array" actually has a delimited list of the content selected. So it seems some kind of handler is not merging the array into actual values like this:

{"id":"6","value":["35"]},{"id":"7","value":["5","27"]}]

Hi. Does this occur for new fields also? I just tested with no issues.

Thanks for picking this up.
Yes it does occur with new fields. I added a multiselect with 2 values and it also doesnt save.

Bump anyone? This issue is preventing me from creating content on my site...

I am having a similar issue in that I have a URL link for my Extended Field in a category and it is being replaced with single characters

The same issue with K2 DB - String "Array" without array values. I spotted K2 Extended Field type LINK.

Joomla 2.5.7 - K2 2.6.1. Upgrade

It Does not matter For New or Old Created Fields, Categories, Items .....

Start digging in component source for the possible reason... If someone have an progress - plz give us a reason - 10x at advance!

Ok, so Im at least glad Im not the only one with this problem. Hopefully people consider this serious enough to look at. I honestly dont have time to go digging into code to look into this.

I still cannot verify the issue. I am able to create and edit extra fields of all kinds with no issues. I guess that by "Extended fields" you mean extra fields right?

Yes that is correct, I do mean extra fields. Is there a paid support where I can have my specific system looked at?
