# Dec 1st 2017, 17:00 meder where would i see that?
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:59 phantomwatson Hm. `leader_id` is listed in `Order::_accessible`, right?
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:57 meder for new records, it does newEntity and patch with request->data()
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:57 meder wait. i think it patchEntity's regardless
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:56 meder err, newEntity*
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:56 meder phantomwatson: my entity is 'order' and the field is 'leader_id'. the field exists when i debug($orderEntity); right after ->errors() check, which is after patchEntity
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:55 meder no buildRules, no existsIn
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:55 hmic in the table, method name buildRules()
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:55 phantomwatson Ohhh, I get it. Was `leader_id` recently created? You may need to delete the model cache in /tmp/cache/models for Cake to recognize it.
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:55 hmic do you have any rules in the table? - like e.g. existsIn?
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:54 meder really? rules? hm
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:54 hmic can still be rules
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:54 hmic it's not validation if it's in the entity
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:54 hmic interesting
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:54 phantomwatson Ahh, check your validation rules for "create" versus "update" triggers.
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:54 meder it's the save
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:53 meder that's what i just debugged
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:53 hmic so is it the newEntity or the save?
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:53 meder yes
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:53 hmic meder, check the entity returned by newEntity() does it have the field set?
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:53 phantomwatson (This Phillip Emerson guy gets tagged an awful lot when I'm around :slightly_smiling_face: )
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:53 meder and the condition to do that is correct as well
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:53 meder but this particular page has a condition for new or patch
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:53 meder the problem only occurs when i save a new record. it's never in updating a record
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:52 phantomwatson Are you always saving new records to the database, or is this sometimes when you're updating existing records too?>
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:52 meder getErrors() returns an empty array
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:52 meder there is no beforeSave changing/removing it
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:52 meder 100% not a typo
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:51 meder and all the other fields work fine
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:51 meder it doesn't save 'leader_id' on newEntity save
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:51 phantomwatson Er- yeah.
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:51 meder the opposite
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:51 phantomwatson Do you mean there's no problem if you only use `newEntity()` but the problem occurs if you use `patchEntity()`?
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:51 meder it's definitely not validation. this isn't associated, but there are other associated tables being saved (they save fine. everything is fine but this one field)
# Dec 1st 2017, 16:51 meder why would my entity not save a field with a 'leader_id' on creation but only on patch entity?
# Dec 1st 2017, 14:42 hmic kant, you just need to pass the 3 function arguments like your api description says
# Dec 1st 2017, 14:42 bravo-kernel +1 for twig, solid choice/move guys :thumbsup:
# Dec 1st 2017, 14:28 hmic this is a standalone plain php function, it does not use anything cakephp, it is completely selfcontained
# Dec 1st 2017, 14:27 hmic one thing to note: you *cannot* indent the multiline strings used! they *need to* start that the beginning of the line. you *cannot* remove the blank lines either!

# Dec 1st 2017, 14:25 hmic kant: i did dig out my old solution for you, should be a breeze to do your upload to the api with it:
