Magento 2 – Custom Field in Form Not Saving Values to DB

adminformmagento2uicomponent

I have added custom field to admin form using Ui Component.

Here is the XML to add field

<field name="all_keywords">
    <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
        <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="dataScope" xsi:type="string">all_keywords</item>
            <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">All Keywords</item>
            <item name="dataType" xsi:type="string">text</item>
            <item name="formElement" xsi:type="string">input</item>
            <item name="source" xsi:type="string">all_keywords</item>
            <item name="validation" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="required-entry" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
            </item>
            <item name="sortOrder" xsi:type="number">25</item>
        </item>
    </argument>
</field>

Field is displayed properly and it's showing data if I modified from db. Button on click on save button data not storing in db. I can see data in controller in post.

I have found issue. actually it was custom paid module so i can't share code here. but they have used magento2's Api where they are defining set and get method for all field.

I thought to post this because it can help to other as well.

Admin Form Field Value Not Saving to Database – Magento Solution

You are missing the necessary bit to actually write the data to the model/table.

On line $data[$field] = $newName; it alters the $data array that is used to store values pair and later you should call $model->setData($data) and then you need to actually save with $model->save();

You could pass a single value to the $models table column with $model->setImgMain("text here");. Note the camelcazing. After saving you could call $model->getImageMain() to get the stored value.

Magento – How to set the field values in a form

Your problem is that values you set with addField() method are then overwritten with addValues() method which tries to set up a form fields values when form is used for editing existing entities or error occurred during submission.

Here is a workaround. Most likely you are getting values with a protected method like this:

protected function _getFormData()
{
    $data = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->getFormData();

    if (!$data && Mage::registry('current_osmm_project')->getData()) {
        $data = Mage::registry('current_osmm_project')->getData();
    }

    return (array) $data;
}

So inside of your _prepareForm() method you replace:

$form->addValues($this->_getFormData());

with:

$_data = $this->__getFormData();
if (!empty($_data)) {
    $form->addValues($_data);
}
