Custom Config Not Appying to Field

[zadro]

Description

Maybe I'm not doing something properly, as I'm new to CK Editor. I tried to update a Redactor field to a CK Editor field and, at the same time, created a new CK Editor config. The CK Editor interface does NOT have the fields from the config.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create custom config in GUI
2. Apply custom config to field
3. View field for new interface features (not there)

Additional info

PHP version 8.1.27
OS version Linux 6.1.0-18-amd64
Craft version Craft Pro 4.8.6

Plugins

CKEditor 3.8.3
Super Table 3.0.12

Hi, thanks for getting in touch! I'm having trouble replicating this. Do you see any errors in the console?

No errors are being displayed. To troubleshoot further, I created a new CKEditor field and attached the config -- this new field shows the config options correctly.

So, the issue appears to be with converting a Redactor field to a CK Editor field and its config association.

What I did next was convert the field back to Redactor, then used php craft ckeditor/convert to convert the field to CKEditor. Success!

Not sure if this is explained somewhere that I missed, but properly converting the field is necessary.

Thanks for all the info! So, to be clear, when you said you first converted the field and then converted it properly (via the php craft ckeditor/convert command), do you mean that the first time, you didn’t go via the command?

Of course! Please note that I would not have known about the convert command if I hadn't been part of this discussion: craftcms/redactor#489 (comment)

In the first attempt, I did not convert the field. I updated the field type (dropdown). Then, after learning about the convert utility and your reply that you couldn't replicate it, I thought to try it.

[i-just]

Right, thanks! I also tried switching the field type via the dropdown, and that worked okay for me. Anyway, the command is there to take the hassle out of converting, and I’m glad to hear it’s working as expected for you.

I will close this now, but feel free to reach out if you run into any more problems.
