[4..4.10]: Matrix blocks not propagated when entry is translated/enabled into another website since

[yingban]

What happened?

Description

When a entry is enabled to another website, the matrix blocks are not propagated, even if the propagation method is set to 'Save blocks to other sites in the same site group".

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a matrix field with different block types.
2. Assign it to an entry
3. Create blocks inside entry
4. Enable entries into another website

Expected behavior

The matrix blocks should be copied and 1:1 between the two different versions.

Actual behavior

Matrix field is empty and the blocks are not propagated.

Craft CMS version

4.4.10.1

PHP version

8.1

Hi, thanks for raising a separate issue! I created a PR for this.

[weotch]

@i-just, I tried out your PR and it didn't fix the issue for me.

Here's a video showing how I experience this:

One thing I've noticed is that setting the 'autosaveDrafts' => false, config option fixes this. Here's the same steps with that setting enabled:

I also don't experience this when 'autosaveDrafts' => true if I save the entry after adding the new site super quickly, like before the autosave completes.

@weotch, is your “Blocks” field a matrix or a neo? What is that field’s propagation method set to?

[weotch]

It is Matrix (though we're using Spoon with it).

Propagation is set to "Save blocks to other sites with the same language"

This is fixed now for the next release. We should be getting a hotfix out later today, but if you want to test before then, you can change your craftcms/cms requirement in composer.json to dev-develop#c575444a6e7243e8fb7655c68b8ce44569c74f99 as 4.4.10.1 and run composer update.

Craft 4.4.11 is out now with the fix.

[yingban]

@brandonkelly thanks for fixing

[weotch]

4.4.11 did not fix my issue. @yingban did it work for you?

[yingban]

@weotch
it does work well with blocks which does not contains super table fields.
There were a PR in another thread about it, but did not have time to test it yet.

[brandonkelly]

Yeah my Super Table PR (verbb/super-table#519) has been merged, but not released yet.

You should be able to test the fix ahead of release by changing your verbb/super-table constraint in composer.json to dev-craft-4, and running composer update.

[weotch]

Huh, even with the Super Table update, I'm still encountering that same issue. Here's the versions I'm running

[brandonkelly]

@weotch Can you send a zip of your composer.json, composer.lock, and config/project/ directory over to [email protected], and point us to the section that is happening in?
