Status automatically changes on saving

[sugra]

Good day,

I recently upgraded by system from 5.0.0 to 5.2.0. In the meeting module, the status is set to default to Planned, yet when people save a meeting it is saved as Held!!!! They did not make a change to the status.... How can this happen???

Has anyone experienced this problem? How can it be solved? Any help would be appreciated.

Can't think of a reason as to how 5.2 would cause that. Have you looked in custom/modules/Meetings to see if by any chance you may have some sort of logic hook/workflow enabled that in turn is causing that behavior?

Hi Angel,

You are an angel for responding to my call for help. Thanks for the advice. I painstakingly went through the modules and found a line in the meetings modules in 5.2.0 which was not there in 5.0.0. The line is:

this.form.status.value=’Held’

and is used in 3 areas:

• custom\modules\metadata\DetailViewDefs.php
• cache\modules\meetings\DetailView.tpl
• modules\Meetings\metadata\DetailViewDefs.php

An example of its use is in:

{if $fields.status.value != "Held"} <input type="hidden" name="isSaveAndNew" value="false"> <input type="hidden" name="status" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="isSaveFromDetailView" value="true"> ……

onclick="this.form.status.value='Held'; this.form.action.value='Save';this.form.return_mod ule.value='Meetings';

Do you think this code could cause the issue and if so, can I delete that code only from the 3 areas mentioned above to solve the problem?
