If you save multiple independent Select fields (FieldX or not FieldX) with the Custom storage method, only the changes made will be saved, all other Select fields will be set to NULL. This does not happen with Article (Related), only the Select drop-downs.
For instance, if I create a new item and have two select fields, I can modify both of them and save, no problem. As soon as I change one of those fields and not the other, it will set the unchanged field to NULL and the changed field to the new value. This looks like a bug.
Hello Saturn2888,
can you post a screenshot of the storage of your field please.
Custom storage must be like:
with that you can store more than 1 form field in 1 database column and it work well.
In 99% of case, prefer to choose "Standard" storage. It will be more faster when you will make search on database.
Keep Custom storage for FieldX and GroupX.
Regards.

For FieldX, you said I should use Custom and introtext. Does that also mean I should make the field it's pointing to also Custom or that can be Standard?
Thanks!
I changed everything around and eliminated some issues. After much testing, I've got it down to one last problem.
The problem now only shows up for a FieldX of a select box. The select_json I'm using here is custom, but it is using the select dropdown code from Seblod.
To reproduce:
- Select an entry from the dropdown
- Save
- Add another dropdown to the FieldX (+)
- Select an entry
- Save
Now only the new one shows up and the old one is deleted. Essentially, it is only saving the newest FieldX. What happened?
Here's the db for those fields:
id title name folder type description published label selectlabel display required validation defaultvalue options options2 minlength maxlength size cols rows ordering sorting divider bool location extended style script bool2 bool3 bool4 bool5 bool6 bool7 bool8 css attributes storage storage_location storage_table storage_field storage_field2 storage_params storages checked_out checked_out_time
