Adding hook to page save AFTER title step

[a-ok]

Hi all

I have the hook written below... and it works fine on pages that have already been created (when I click 'Save') but when I try to create a new page it throws an error that I can't seem to get by. It appears to be firing this at the title entry point and not at the first 'Save/Publish' option once the client has finished editing. Any thoughts?

ProcessPageAdd: Can't save field from a new page - please save the entire page first

function myHook(HookEvent $event) {

	$page = $event->arguments(0);
	if ($page->template->name == 'events-detail') { // What's On detail

		$today = strtotime("now");
		$dateRepeater = $page->events_detail_dates;
		$lastRow = $page->events_detail_dates->last();
		$page->set("events_detail_dates_final_date", $lastRow->events_detail_dates_end_date);
		$page->save("events_detail_dates_final_date");

	}

}
wire()->addHookAfter('Pages::saveReady', null, 'myHook');

I'm not entirely sure about this, but what about hooking after Pages::save rather than saveReady

I haven't looked at this in detail. As you await better responses than mine , why don't you just do what the error is instructing you to? Save the whole page. If that works, then work on fine tuning so that if new page, save whole page, else, save affected field only. Instead of...

$page->save("events_detail_dates_final_date");

Save the whole page..

$page->save();

This seemed to have done the trick, Tom! Thanks!
