PROBLEM SUMMARY:  Textareas and WYSIWYG fields are not being saved.

Details:

  • I set up a content type of FAQ with two custom fields: Question and Answer  (jn a custom category FAQ)
  • Both fields are WYSIWYG fields set to just use tinyMCE as the editor, Modal (though default also has the problem, and changing editors does not help)
  • I added an article of content type FAQ and filled the "Question" modal box then saved and closed the modal box
  • I filled in the Answer modal box then saved and closed the modal box.
  • At this point I can still edit the Question or Answer field and the content is still there. 
  • I then Save (or Save and Close) the FAQ content type -- and here the content seems to get lost.
  • Opening either field results in a blank editor page.  No information appears on the front end or in the database.

The choice of editor does not affect the result.  

Changing the field type to textarea does not help. Same problem with missing data. 

As soon as I save the article, those fields appear to be lost.  (it is not in the database,either)

EDIT: Fulltext is fine even though it is wysiwyg.

Is this a big bug or is there something I missed here?

Hi there,

What is the storage of your fields? When you scroll down on your WYSIWYG field or Textarea field, does it say Standard > Article > field_name?
