Simultaneous editing and creating of entries in events with "Allow Multiple" not working

[klaftertief]

In section events with the Allow Multiple option set you can't simultaneously create and edit entries. This is because every new entry gets the id of previous existing entries passed, so you are editing an existing entry with the post values from a new entry. This is because in line 421 of event.section.php

if (isset($post['id'][$position]) && is_numeric($post['id'][$position])) {
    $entry_id = $post['id'][$position];
}

$entry_id doesn't get reset when $post['id'][$position] is not set (for new entries). I think that just appending

else {
    $entry_id = NULL;
}

to those lines solves this issue.

Neat, I didn't even think that this would be possible, but the logic is abstracted enough that it is. Woohoo!

I assumed it should work, but it didn't. Glad it was easy anough to fix :-)

Thanks for applying the fix. Just wanted to add that I haven't tested it heavily. So you don't expect any side-effects?

No, the logic appears abstracted so that it's as if you were executing '3' events, so I don't think it matters that it swaps between editing and creating new.

I can't say I've given it a through test though, so feel free to Reopen if you find any issues.
