Module Outputs Array of Errors when save_entry fails #9

Open joelcollyer opened 7 years ago

joelcollyer commented 7 years ago

In ext.simple_cloner.php, errors in the entry are being printed to the page: $errors = ee()->api_channel_entries->get_errors(); print_r($errors);

We're seeing that come up when the editor failed to populate a required field: Array ( [Field Name] => The following field is required: )

Any help here would be very much appreciated.

Hi Joel. I can remove the print statement but if it is a required field then entry saving shouldn't work anyway as far as I understand the default EE behaviour? Is the issue that Simple Cloner is additionally alerting you or that the entry won't save?

Hey! Thanks for getting back to me. We are able to save this entry normally, but not clone it, and I think it's because Simple Cloner isn't able to validate relationship fields.

The exp_channel_data table has a column for each relationship field (which is never used as far as I can tell), the data is stored in the exp_relationships table instead, so we're getting a "field is required" error no matter what's been filled in.
