Adding An Item In Loop Erases All Fields

  • I have a loop field “Equipment.” Inside are a select field “Division,” text field “Header,” and another loop field “List.” Inside list is the text field “Item” and the file field “Image.” When I setup the site I successfully added fields within this loop (with various images, headers, and list descriptions), as well as setup a template to show everything the way I want.

    Today: I click the add button at the bottom of the Equipment box. I add my information, then click save. My loop completely empties out, removing all the information that was on the page. Doesn’t matter if I add to the Item loop or the Equipment loop. In fact, just clicking save on the page (without any changes to the custom fields at all) removes all data from the fields. It’s not just a GUI problem: a check inside phpmyadmin shows that all data for those fields has been erased from the database table.

    I encountered this bug prior to updating to the latest version. I restored the data, then updated, and encountered the same problem. I’ve never had such a problem with CSF (which I use across lots of sites that I manage), and it concerns me in terms of future use. Anyone else enounter this bug?

    Update: upon closer inspection of the database table, I see that while the data has been erased from the cfs_values table, it’s still in the postmeta table. Simply restoring the cfs_values table (without restoring the rest of the db) does not repopulate the data on the page.

    Attempts to add the data back manually all fail: every time I save, anything I’ve added in the loop gets erased. Nothing new is written to either database table.

    Update: I cleared out any data for this page from the cfs_values table and the postmeta tables, then went back and attempted to add a row in the loop. After saving this data once again disappeared from the page. Checking inside the database, I see that the cfs_values table is once again unchanged, but the postmeta table added my new information.

    Obviously there is a problem within my site where the cfs_values table is not getting written to (which would explain why it is not showing up on the page in the GUI).
