By "component" I assume you mean widget.
Please do try project
to see if that addresses it for you.
Are you able to create a test project you can share here that demonstrates the issue? Perhaps a fork of apostrophecms/starter-kit-essentials
?

I do, that's my bad.
It does appear that using project
solves the issue.
As for the test project, I'm on the clock right now but I'll see what I can do for you later today.
Thanks! I agree it would be nice if project
wasn't mandatory or if we could at least warn in this situation in a useful way, etc., but it's helpful to know it makes a difference.
I was able to recreate the bug, here's the repo: https://github.com/Pixelguymm/apos-bug-report
After setting this up, I am confident that my suspicions were correct. The bug occurs when there's a relationship to the current page in one of the widgets on that page, unless project
is used to include only the URL. I also found out that indeed only the widgets placed after the relationship in the hirarchy are affected. The ones before it work without issue.
I included a few pages demonstrating the bug, they're in the json files I exported from MongoDB. Mind that any time I mention editing a widget, I mean editing it and publishing the changes without them getting lost.
All details regarding OS and node version are the same as the original report.
Thanks for the very thorough bug report!
To Reproduce
Unsure if it is consistent, but this is what has been causing it for me:
/
in my case).Expected behavior
The changes get saved after clicking "Publish".
Describe the bug
When clicking "Publish", the changes get reverted. The
/api/v1/@apostrophecms/page/
does not include any modified data. Mind you, not every widget seemed equally affected by this. Rich text widgets in particular stopped saving entirely. It might also have to do with the position of the affected component (before/after) relative to the component that includes the recursive relationship.My assumption is that the recursivity is what causes the issue. While I'm writing this, I'm remembering that the
project
property on the relationship would most likely fix this issue by excluding the page's content. Still I think this is worth looking into.Details
