CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

So start with some custom data set and fields ... they work.  Something happens ... and now one of the custom sets is no longer accepting edits of existing values or new values.  It used to (like two months ago), but I'm not exactly sure when it went wrong.

It goes like this:
1) click the tab for "School Data" and see the existing (or absent) data
2) click the edit button - the overlay comes up, everything appears to work, enter new values.  Click submit
3) nothing is saved ... and no errors are thrown.

This is happening to ONLY one of the many custom sets. Thus far I've done the folllowing:
1) evaluated permissionsL it doesn't seem to be permissions (and if it were ... it shouldn't present the "edit" button)
2) tried different users (just because): its not user specific ... admin/user 1 can't make edits stick either
3) enabled debugging: with all the civicrm debugging turned on, no relevant messages are returned or logged to watchdog.
4) pored through MySQL:  I've looked in the database at all the settings, and vs a custom set that works I see no differences in settings.

So has anyone run into this and gotten a solution?  Or if someone can point me to the part of the code that should be doing the actual writing of the data, I'll see if I can reproduce this on the local environment and debug it.

Thanks, Eliot

"contains a character CiviCRM doesn't like " - ah yes. There was one field with a machine name that ended with an underscore, so I changed it out in both the storage field and in the definition (in civicm_value_xxxx & civicm_custom_field).

No change.  : (
