Hello,

ManyManyComplexTableField (MMCTF) doesn't seem to remember which items are checked. The MMCTF grid will show up in the CMS admin interface with check boxes by each item. After checking some items, saving the data item, and reloading it in the admin interface, no check boxes are checked.

To make sure that my custom code was not causing the problem, I copied and pasted the many-to-many example code from: http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=tutorial:5-dataobject-relationship-management#project_-_module_relation Still no go.

Any ideas on why relation check boxes aren't saving?

Thanks,
Ben

I came across this problem in the past and never discovered a real solution. You can look up some of my posts related to this. I think it might be a javascript problem related to how the CTF is managed in the back-end. What version of ss are you using?

Hmm, I would say it would have been solved by now in the trunk version. In my experience, the problem does not always occur, only sometimes. I tried a lot of things, but never got around solving it I'm afraid. It's not a problem clients like, btw... Did you try checking/unchecking in different browsers, on different platforms?

Hi SilverRay,

I think I found a solution to this problem. It's contained in the patch attached to ticket 4250.
