Editing items leads to Insert instead of update

stikkimorey 14 Aug, 2018

Hi
I am struggling to create a form based on the dynamic actions demo. I have tried to copy the settings across accuratly, but when I try to use the edit link, it inserts a new record instead of updating the record chosen.

In the write action settings for the save event, I have selected auto, but it does not seem to recognise when to update.

Can anyone help me identify what the problem is?

Many thanks

The only thing I can see that I have diferent is that on the article edit link I have :

asset_id={var:articles_list.row.Article.asset_id}

Wheras in the demo, they have:

article_id={var:articles_list.row.Article.id}

I am using asset_id as the primary key in my table and it is set to auto_increment

Thanks

Ah I found the problem - I had named the field with the ID as asset_id but it needs to be Article[aset_id]
