Espo 5.2.x auto-increment value in hooks

[cavefish]

Since version 5.2 I'm unable to get value of auto-increment fields in beforeSave() and afterSave() hooks on first save. Editing existing entries works fine.
Is there some kind of fundamental change regarding auto-increment fields since this version or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

in beforeSave hook it coudn't be possible, in afterSave it possible. Even if field is not set, you can load this entity with this field

hi tanya, can you please provide a bit more detail, how to load this entity, and get the value in afterSave hook.

[tanya]

After save entity has this field.

share with me your code, please

public function afterSave(Entity $entity, array $options = array()){
if(empty($entity->get('serialNumber'))){
$prefix = "Test-";
$user = $this->getEntityManager()->getRepository('User')->get($entity->get('assignedUserId'));
if(!empty($user->get('name'))){
$prefix .= $user->get('firstName')[0].$user->get('lastName')[0]."-".$entity->get('number');
}

$pdo = $this->getEntityManager()->getPDO();
$sql = "update test set serial_number = '{$prefix}'";
$sth = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$sth->execute();
}
}

$entity->get('number') this number field is the one with type auto-increment.

tanya did you get a chance to check this ?

very late on, but Auto Increment does not seem to be set in an Entity event afterSave and so I had to check if it was null and then re-load from the database if it was in order to use an auto-increment in a hook.
