TYPO3 Core

Usually backend layouts do not provide additional fields. So what dou you mean by "search wizard" and what kind of fields are we talking about?

We use tx_gridelements_backend_layout record, in field "pi_flexform_ds" we have one filed which is setup with this XML :

<TCEforms type="array">
    <label>Utilisateur</label>
    <config type="array">
        <type>select</type>
        <internal_type>db</internal_type>
        <allowed>fe_users</allowed>
        <size>1</size>
        <minitems>0</minitems>
        <maxitems>1</maxitems>
        <wizards type="array">
            <suggest type="array">
                <type>suggest</type>
                <default>
                    <searchWholePhrase>1</searchWholePhrase>
                </default>
            </suggest>
        </wizards>
    </config>
</TCEforms>

I attached a screen of the field with "search wizard".

The "grid element backend layout" was created manualy on a "Grid Element" folder.
This folder contains all flexible contents.

The flexform was taken from templavoila (we migrated from templavoila to gridelements) and cleaned.
The complete content of the flexform is added in attachment.

FYI : We use sf_tv2fluidge to migrate all templavoila contents to grid elements but the problem occurs with new content.

I checked the behaviour with the plugin section of the Login Form content element type and the behaviour is exactly the same, so this is not a Gridelement but a common flexform issue.

You have to save the editing form of a newly created element once, before any suggest wizard of that flexform field will give back correct results.

I'm closing this one down.
Not because it's not valid, but because this is something inherited so deep in FormEngine.
Here are some other variations of that report:

Changing a CType causes forms to be reloaded
    Changing typeFields require a reload

In order to make this work we need to rebuild FormEngine so it can reloadForms via AJAX.

We have this on our agenda.

Hello,

I'm sorry to go on, but I'm not sure that the problem has been found.

Here are two screenshots that explain the situation:

if you create a new page without saving, the "suggest wizard" based on the TCA works well.
if you create a new plugin content "news" without saving, the "suggest wizard" based on a flexform doesn't work.

Do we really need to save a record so that the "suggest wizard" based on flexform works as well as the other?
is there no other solution?

thank you again,

Rachel Foucard.

sorry, the first file was not good.
Cheers,
Rachel Foucard.
