Cannot save an entry with a Matrix row in 3.5.17.1

Description

Getting the following exception whenever I try to save an entry with one or more rows in a matrix field:

yii\base\ErrorException: Undefined property: craft\elements\db\MatrixBlockQuery::$criteria in /vendor/yiisoft/yii2/base/ArrayableTrait.php:126

I tried rolling back to 3.5.16 where the entry gets saved as you would expect. The problem only occurs on 3.5.17.*.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an entry type with a matrix field
2. Create a new entry, add a row to the matrix field
3. Save the new entry

Additional info

• Craft version: 3.5.17.1
• PHP version: 7.1.19
• Database driver & version: MySQL 5.7.17

Do you happen to have a custom field with the handle criteria?

[brandonkelly]

Was able to reproduce with a Matrix field named criteria. Fixed now for the next release.

To get the fix early, change your craftcms/cms requirement in composer.json to:

"require": {
  "craftcms/cms": "dev-develop as 3.5.17.1",
  "...": "..."
}

Then run composer update.

Yes, there was a matrix block with the handle criteria which also had a custom field with the handle criteria. Missed reporting that 😁. This fixed the bug! Thanks Brandon.

Craft 3.5.18 is out now with that fix ✨
