Updating a custom field via the JS UI doesn't update changelog [FILED]
January 22, 2015, 02:58:02 am
Summary
Updating a contact's custom field data via the main admin UI does not add a changelog, and therefore does not update the 'Last updated' date of the contact.
If updated via the API, or by clicking 'Edit' on a contact, it does.

Steps to recreate on dmaster.demo
  • Create a new custom fieldset used for contacts, with two fields: 'Custom text' (alphanum, text)
  • View a contact record, note the 'Changelog' number, and the last updated date
  • Update only the 'Custom text' field on the contact record via the JavaScript interface (click on the field, add data, save)
  • Note that there is no changelog, and no change in 'Last updated' date

  • Now click 'Edit' on the contact record
  • Change only the 'Cutsom text' field
  • Save
  • Note that there is a changelog, and the 'Last updated' date has updated

This is a combination of these two fixed issues on JIRA:
https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-11854
https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-10479

I've opened an issue on JIRA here:
https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-15858

This issue appears to be linked to the changelog issue where editing a custom field creates a bad log entry.  Logging needs to be enabled to recreate this error.

1. enable logging
2. create a custom field for individual
3. edit custom field via js ui OR using edit link
4. view change log
5. see error

Rocxa is the "bad changelog entry" issue filed in Jira?

This open issue is the closest one I can find,  but the description isn't exactly the same.
https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-14819

It looks as though the changelog issue has occurred repeatedly over time with many issues with similar titles all marked as fixed in previous versions.

John I have worked to fix the issue you filed.

Can you check it on http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/

Hi Coleman,

I have just tested http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/

The original problem with custom fields not updating the changelog appears to be fixed (if logging is disabled) but...

I then enabled logging in system settings and editing a few custom fields on these records:
http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contact/view?reset=1&cid=110
http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contact/view?reset=1&cid=207

The changelog doesn't load at all for either of them and the last updated date doesn't update when updating custom fields.  Normal fields work ok.

Ok this is really odd. Take a look at this:

Edit any contact on http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/
Try the 3 different custom field sets:
- "Constituent Information" does update the change log
- So does "CBROM fields"
- But "test change log logging" does not.

Might be an issue with triggers needing to get rebuilt. Did you create that new field set before or after enabling logging?

I created the 'test change log logging' fieldset and fields before enabling logging.. so in theory it should have behaved the same way as the other custom fields already created..

but as you have spotted.. it doesn't.

i just created a 'test change log logging after enabling' fieldset and fields.. and they seem to work ok

Running
/civicrm/menu/rebuild?reset=1&triggerRebuild=1
Doesn't seem to help and the bad log records remain for custom fields created before enabling logging.
