Page select error when selecting itself

[Soma]

There's an 500 server error shown (white page) when I select the page itself in a page field and save page. Could this be avoided?

I wonder if that is a recursion issue.

In this case, I'm not currently sure how to prevent the circular reference other than disallowing a page from selecting itself. Or rather, having the fieldtype's sanitizeValue method remove the incompatibile value automatically before saving. Not sure if that's what you were looking for?

Soma could this be the same problem I faced yesterday?

I solved it by saving each field on its own and not the entire page
