Hakim Bouras	Friday 14 August 2009 8:41:09 am Hi, I am trying to migrate to 4.1 and I get the following error when I edit objects which have mandatory fields that does not appear in the template : The information could not be saved because of the following problems: * User account: Input required. * Creation Date: Missing datetime input. These fields are not available in the template (which only propose a subset of all the class fields), because they are not supposed to be changed by the end user updating their info. I am using the same templates that were working fine from 3.6 untill 4.0. Any idea about what I might do wrong or how I could manage this problem ? Thanks for your help, Hakim

So you'll need to change your template that omit them and use hidden input elements for them instead. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom

Is there a way to programatically fill the missing fields (maybe through the workflow) before the validation process takes place (so that I can keep a "light" template) ? Is there a place where we can have some information about when (in the workflow) and how the validation process takes place when we use templates to update objects ? Thanks for your help, Hakim

Hi,

I am trying to migrate to 4.1 and I get the following error when I edit objects which have mandatory fields that does not appear in the template :

The information could not be saved because of the following problems:
    * User account: Input required.
    * Creation Date: Missing datetime input.

These fields are not available in the template (which only propose a subset of all the class fields), because they are not supposed to be changed by the end user updating their info.

I am using the same templates that were working fine from 3.6 untill 4.0.

Any idea about what I might do wrong or how I could manage this problem ?

Thanks for your help,
Hakim
