Inputfield dependencies with options field - content not saved

[doolak]

Hi there,

I am trying to use an options field in a repeater to offer the possibility to choose the kind of input which will be shown in that element:

If one choose "Text", just the textarea will be shown, if one choose "Foto", just an image can be added.

This works fine so far, but if I add content to the textarea or choose an image and save the page, those contents are not saved.

Any idea if I just make something wrong or will that just not work in that way?

Cheers, Christian

Made a short test now and found out that it will work when it is used without a repeater - guess it is not supported right now to use it in a repeater field...

If that could be fixed, would be so great!

The culpit is not the new Options fieldtype, but repeaters not being officially supported.

Yes, the problem is not the Options fieldtype - it seems that although the Inputfield Dependencies are working in a repeater, the content of a field is not saved if it has a dependency.

Had the same problem before... Everybody told be to use "pagetableextended" instead. Here's my original post/wish: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/9170-view-dependency-support-in-repeater-or-pagetableinline/

(you could add a post at the bottom of my post to support this wish )

Great, so you seem to work with a similar "contentblock-syste," for you backends ;-)

Will support your wish and have a deeper look into "pagetableextend" - never used this until now...
