Hello, I've been trying out the upsert plugin for the first time, and for the most part I have been able to get it to work beautifully. However, there are two fields that I cannot seem to get to update on my new form no matter what I try. I have looked through the forum at length and gone through the wiki entries for the upsert plugin AND php form plugin/common tasks for help. I could use some assistance to figure out what I am doing wrong.
Main Form - Grievance (fab_grievance_form)
Secondary Form - Grievance Investigation (fab_grievance_investigation)
Elements are being inserted/updated from 'fab_grievance_form' into 'fab_grievance_investigation' and there are matching elements on both so that mapped fields have somewhere to go.
Element types that are working: dbjoin, field, textarea, dropdown
Element types that are not working: date and user
Date: 'fab_grievance_form___grievance_filing_date'
I tried {fab_grievance_form___filing_date}. When that didn't work, I tried {fab_grievance_form___filing_date_raw}. All I get are zeroes in the database and blanks in the form field itself. The elements on both forms have the tz set to UTC.
User: 'fab_grievance_form___grievance_form_filer_id'
I tried a variety of things on this one but no luck. I never got an error message, but depending on what I tried, just left it either the placeholder, blank, 0, or NULL (in the database itself). I guess the first question is probably, can you even use the upsert plugin with the user field? Since the user plugin itself is pulling from the core user table, which is mapped to multiple other tables, right? I need the filer information on the new form, but it could be just a plain field there if the mapping rules would allow it (I tried and got an error, but perhaps I didn't have it set correctly). I also tried to do it with the php form plugin instead but I didn't have any better luck, although my experience with eval'd code is very basic so far.
Any advice? I would greatly appreciate it, as I am ready to pull out my hair at this point...
Thank You!
