ORM Setting Value in afterSave Not Working

[item]

Hello telecastg,
i have your response about "hooks => repository" ..
i have reported a bug about acceptanceStatus... and Yuri have resolved the issue in a few "secondes"
and the bug was on repository of meeting .. and when i have asked if normal or no .. he say : normal it's design.

So your "design" => repository
Hook is not design, it's custom

Regards

Hello telecastg,
with my skill .. i will give a sample :
hook => user skill => developper skill => formula ... and so

repositery => the specialist
i think "encryptData" in database... where i put : here.
and decryptData -> here too.

I think repository is only the last think before database.

Thanks so much item

Do you have an opinion of when is better to use Hooks or Repositories ?

Hello telecastg,
if the question if for me :

sample :
on hook you do : entity->set('status' = 'New');

on repository
$entity->set('status' = 'Closed'):

the result will be always 'Closed'

it's the last layer before modify database. (for me if i am not wrong )

    protected function beforeSave(Entity $entity, array $options = [])
    {
        parent::beforeSave($entity, $options);
        $entity->set('name', $entity->get('accountName') .' - ' .$entity->get('contactName') );
        if ($entity->isNew()) {
            $entity->set('createdAt', date("Y-m-d") );
        }
    }

Hello, could you explain what is the difference between Repositories and Hooks ?

Hello,
try .. you will see :

on beforeSave => no need to write : $entityManager->saveEntity($entity, ['skipHooks' => true]);

on afterSave =. need : $entityManager->saveEntity($entity, ['skipHooks' => true]); => then you will loop certainly... maybe with option ['skipHooks' => true] . not loop ..

What is also weird is that if I update say the 'description' field then the 'name' field is updated and the correct value is show in the detail view yet if I then refresh the screen, the value then lost and the `name` field resets back to `None`.

I'm missing something, clearly.

Hello,
it's for me nomal ..
imagine ... beforeSave.. .afterSave.
if you save so in afterSave... then he become beforeSave .. then loop infinite

if you save in afterSaver.. use PDO ..

Regards

That doesn't seem to be the case at all as `beforeSave` and `afterSave` are only called once (tested and seen using debug statements)

I've implemented an 'afterSave' function in one of my custom Repositories but I cannot get a field to be 'set' - I see the value change initially before going back to 'None':

<?php
namespace Espo\Custom\Repositories;
use Espo\ORM\Entity;
class SerialNumber extends \Espo\Core\Templates\Repositories\Base
{
    protected function afterSave(Entity $entity, array $options = [])
    {
        parent::afterSave($entity, $options);
        // Get the linked part
        $part = $entity->get('part');
        if ($part) {
            // Get the part number
            if ($part->has('partNumber')) {
                $partNumber = $part->get('partNumber');
                $serialNumber = $entity->get('serialNumber');
                $fullPartNumber = $partNumber . '.' . $serialNumber;
                $entity->set('name', $fullPartNumber);
                $GLOBALS['log']->warn('Number', [$fullPartNumber]);
            }
        }
    }
}

What am I doing wrong in this instance?
