[Bug]: pimcore_relations does not accept more than one folder after reload in the back-end.

[valik404]

Pimcore version

11.1.3

Steps to reproduce

Create a relation (doesn't matter if it's a editable dialog box or not). Drag in two folder's and save & publish. Now the relation will show objects of both folders. If you reload the page in the back-end, you will only see the last added folder in the relation. At this moment it will still show objects of both folders. Now if you save & publish again while there is only one folder in the relation, it will only display objects of the last added folder.

Actual Behavior

pimcore_relation only accepts one folder with objects.

Expected Behavior

Should accept more than one folder.

Can it be reproduced in the public demo? Any notable JS error in the Developer Tools' Console?
So far i wasn't able to exactly reproduce it, but i am on 11.2 and it could be already fixed somewhere else 🤔

[valik404]

Hey, no there are no errors. I couldn't find any relations in the demo. Maybe it is already fixed with your version. I will check it. Thanks

[kingjia90]

Mhh, i think i have misread the first time, you are using pimcore_relation which is many-to-one, therefore it HAS to be one, while you may want pimcore_relations (NB: plural) if you want to link multiple elements or folders.

So probably a visual/UI bug that somehow allows dropping more than one element on the many-to-one? I will double check that.

[valik404]

My fault, I meant pimcore_relations. So it should accept more than one folder right?

[kingjia90]

Ahh ok, all good. So far, it should be working as intended, I didn't find any problem in both editables types and there are no any recent changes from the JS side as well.

Maybe try to keep an eye on the Versions tab, to see if there's any change triggered by some custom implementation/third-party/autosave(?) to make sure whether it is losing data by not actually saving it or if it is "overwritten".

Looking forward to any further details and steps on how to reproduce it.

Here is what I tryed:

• Cloned the demo project of pimcore
• Created a new areabrick
• Created a twig template with a pimcore_relations from the official pimcore documentation (https://pimcore.com/docs/pimcore/10.6/Development_Documentation/Documents/Editables/Relations_(Many-To-Many).html)
• Modified the default.html.twig to make it possible to use my areabrick (I added the name of my twig folder)
• A excerpt from the default.html.twig:

{{ pimcore_areablock('content', {
'allowed': ['blockquote', 'embed', 'featurette', 'gallery-carousel', 'gallery-folder',
'gallery-single-images', 'headlines', 'horizontal-line', 'icon-teaser-row', 'image',
'image-hotspot-marker', 'image-metadata', 'pdf', 'product-grid', 'product-teaser', 'standard-teaser', 'text-accordion',
'time-slider-featurette', 'validity', 'video', 'wysiwyg', 'wysiwyg-with-images', 'personalized-product-teaser', 'teaser-news']
}) }}

• "teaser-news" is my areabrick
  It's is still the same behavior. I got version 11.2.3 in this project now.

After reload:

Hope this helps to reproduce it.

Ahh thank you for the detailed instruction, i am also confirming the issue as reproduce-able.
The fact that the subtype somehow becomes variant suggests that there might be a bug in there.
I will let you know when i find the cause

Update: by changing this line (removing the variant constant), it would work

pimcore/models/Document/Editable/Relations.php

Line 89 in 4b28c29

$return[] = [$element->getId(), $element->getRealFullPath(), DataObject::OBJECT_TYPE_OBJECT, DataObject::OBJECT_TYPE_VARIANT, DataObject::OBJECT_TYPE_FOLDER];

Potential regression from #13233

PR #17054 is ready, feel free to review it and give it a try

Thank you again for reporting!

[valik404]

Yes, it actually works fine. Thank you very much for your fast help.
Have a good time.
