Possible Bug with live and validations?

[tostr7191]

Hi

I have created a basic phoenix project, my schema has two integer fields and the schema definition looks like this:

  schema "expenses" do
    field :amount, Money.Ecto.Amount.Type
    field :file_name, :string
    field :telegram_id, :string
    field :telegram_nick, :string
    field :vat_amount, Money.Ecto.Amount.Type

On the default generated views (in my case /expenses/new, any value that I put into one of the Money-fields gets reset to an empty value as soon as I jump to a different field and trigger validation there. Below is the screenshot after I have input "1234" into "Amount" then TAB to jump to "Vat Amount" and as soon as I input 1 into "Vat Amount" the value in "Amount" gets set to empty and the validation (can't be blank) shows.

I have recreated this in a fresh project with nothing added except for:

mix phx.gen.live Tally Expense expenses telegram_id telegram_nick file_name amount:integer vat_amount:integer

I have to admit that I am very new to phoenix, it might be that I am missing something obvious here.

Edit: If I remove phx_change: "validate", from lib/testme_web/live/expense_live/form_component.html.leex it works, gets saved to database correctly and also renders correctly. It's just the validation that does for some reason throws away the data sometimes.

For anyone having the same issue, this is what fixed it for me:

instead of defining the form field like this:

 <%= text_input f, :amount, type: "number", placeholder: "0" %>

change the type from "number" to "text" like this:

 <%= text_input f, :amount, type: "text", placeholder: "0" %>

You can also just omit type: "text" as it is the default type of a text_input.

Seems like this should be closed.
