Hi folks (Klas!!)
Just checking myself here...
So using beforestore/beforerender I can retrieve from 'values' i.ie.
$config['storages']['#__cck_store_form_somecontenttype']->values['some_json_field']['some_value'] = 'stored value';
But am I able to assign values here so that they get stored? Continuing from above example
$config['storages']['#__cck_store_form_somecontenttype']->values['some_json_field']['some_value'] = 'new value';
It seems '$config['storages']['#__cck_...']->values' is for retrieving information, not storing information.
Is that correct?

Hi Bucklash,
I didn't know we can use $config in a BeforeRender code.
I only use $config in a BeforeStore code. To write value in DataBase.
If i want read value in BeforeRender I use $field and if I want write value or read value from an other table I use joomla code.
Hi
Hi yes you are right, $config not for beforerender, I mentioned that in error.
I was seeing if I could simply add values to '$config....values' using beforestore but no joy
In a form I am grabbing a load of data, and after a few calculations storing it in to params, and was seeing if values could be used as as away of merging it with existing params.
Interesting that you do Joomla method ...
You should be able to alter values, but you can't add new fields that are not added to content type already
Hmm
I will have another go then, at the minute Inhave it working another way.
Will reply when sorted it.
