Cannot save values on various places

Report a Bug
1

Hello, we are using latest version of Datagerry in docker (2.2.0). We have found that some data is not saved even if the web says so. The places (so far) are:

  1. Hidden text field in MultiDataSection
  2. Creating an external link in type definition - meta

In both cases the web says that the value was saved, but it is not displayed afterwards. Also, looking through DB itself or via API, the new value is not present. When filling the value directly into the object in DB, the value is not displayed on the web.

Due to the above, it is possible that this can happen also in other places.

Can this be fixed please? Thank you!

Hi @palusha,

Thank you for reporting this!

Regarding the Hidden text field in MultiDataSection, I’ve tested it on my side, and it appears to be working correctly—values are saved and displayed as expected.

To help us reproduce and investigate the issue further, could you please share the exact step-by-step process you followed? For example:

  • How you created the field in the type definition
  • How you entered and saved the value
  • Whether this happened in add/edit mode
  • Any specific field settings you applied (e.g., default value etc.)

This will help us understand the behavior better and determine if it’s a bug or related to a specific setup.

Looking forward to your response!

sincerely,

Hi @abdullah-khalid,

Thanks for getting back to us.

I cannot upload multiple pictures so I will describe it in text:

  1. On existing type I insert a new multiDataSection, and put a text field to it. I check the checkbox
    “Hide this field…”. Then I save the type
  2. I go to one of the objects tied to this type, click the Edit icon, go to the multidata section and press “Add”. I fill in the text “TEST DATA” in the popup for the hidden field and click “Add”.
  3. Still in edit mode, I can see the data is there, as I see the eye icon, the edit icon and the trash icon.
  4. Now I click Save on the top of the object page.
  5. After saving, multidata section says “no data to display”.
  6. Going back to edit mode, it is the same - “no data to display”
  7. using MongoDB Compass, I check the object and see that there is no value for the field:

13: Object
name:“hidden-text”
value:“”

multi_data_sections:Array (empty)
public_id:149
views:0

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you!

Hi @abdullah-khalid

Finally I made it back to test this. However, I do not have a good news. In version 3.0.0 the behavior slightly changed, but it is still not usable at all.

  1. I have a new multi data section on one type
  2. I create and object and fill the multi data section.
  3. When I save the object, and I am back in the object detail, values are not present (No data to display!)
  4. When I EDIT the object, values in multi data section appear (so they are saved to DB).
  5. But no matter what I do, the values are not present in the object detail, only when I edit the object.

Can this be fixed please? Thank you
