6 years ago I can replicate this and have seen this many times over the years....
Before this line $data is populated correctly
after it $data is gone.
This is because some reference something is happening here https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/6de2b00858e91bd64e7c410a6ed617d455f62d64/libraries/src/MVC/Model/FormModel.php#L237
passing in the $data to loadForm and using it instead of creating a new blank array at https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/6de2b00858e91bd64e7c410a6ed617d455f62d64/libraries/src/MVC/Model/FormModel.php#L237 seems to work
but this is not the real fix I dont think. It works but it tacky.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour or not but when saving a module, the
$dataobject inonContentPrepareForm( $form, $data );is a blank array.My content plugin needs to add additional fields to the
$formbased on the type of module which can be found in$data->module(e.g.'mod_menu'). To do this, theonContentPrepareForm()fires on load and on save where I must bind my fields in both cases.Unfortunately, the
$datais unpopulated on save. Is this intended?I've found another instance of this cropping up a few years back: https://developer.joomla.org/joomlacode-archive/issue-29145.html but a workaround was suggested rather than the issue being directly addressed/fixed.
Thoughts welcome!
