Adding a team to a record through coding using after_save logic hook not working

Question

Hi everyone,

I would like to add a team to a record through coding. I am using after_save logic hook but it is not add the team to the record. If I use before_save hook, then it’s working. I would like to use after_save hook as it is recommended by Sugar Documentation. I would appreciate if you can help. My Sugar version is Pro 7.9.20. Bellow is my coding:

sugarcrm\custom\Extension\modules\Accounts\Ext\LogicHooks\addTeam.ext.php

<?php

    $hook_array['after_save'][] = Array(
        //Processing index. For sorting the array.
        1,

        //Label. A string value to identify the hook.
        'Add Team value before_save',

        //The PHP file where your class is located.
        'custom/modules/Accounts/addTeam.php',

        //The class the method is in.
        'AddTeam_class',

        //The method to call.
        'add_team_method'
    );
?>

sugarcrm\custom\modules\Accounts\addTeam.php

<?php
    if (!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

    class AddTeam_class
    {
        function add_team_method($bean, $event, $arguments)
        {
            //loop prevention check
            if (!isset($bean->ignore_update_c) || $bean->ignore_update_c === false)
            {
               $bean->ignore_update_c = true;
               $module = $bean->module_dir;
               $record_id = $bean->id;

               $GLOBALS['log']->fatal(">>>> add teams executed >>>>>");

               //Retrieve the bean
               $bean = BeanFactory::getBean($module, $record_id);

               //Load the team relationship
               $bean->load_relationship('teams');

               $tl_team_id = "a799aafc-d021-11e7-990a-00ff10f03434";
               $tcc_team_id = "b79db27c-d021-11e7-819e-00ff10f03434";
               $ft_team_id = "d1f6ad5e-d021-11e7-a70e-00ff10f03434";


               //Add the teams
               $bean->teams->add(
                    array(
                        $ft_team_id,
                    )
               );
                $bean->save();
           }
        }
    }
?>

Here, use code below to achieve what you want. For some reason team link does not have add() method and you have to use replace(), which is kind of annoying And just saying -> you don't need to retrieve or save the bean.

class AddTeam_class
{
   //after save logic hook!!
    function add_team_method($bean, $event, $arguments){
        self::addTeams($bean,['d1f6ad5e-d021-11e7-a70e-00ff10f03434']);
    }
   /**
    * @param $bean \SugarBean
    * @param $teams array of ids of teams to be added to bean
    * @Util
    */
   public static function addTeams($bean,$teams){
       $teams = is_array($teams) ? $teams : [$teams];
       if(!sizeof($teams)) return;
       $teamSetBean = new \TeamSet();
       $oldTeams = $teamSetBean->getTeams($bean->team_set_id);
       foreach($oldTeams as $id=>$team){
           $teams[]=$id;
       }
       $bean->load_relationship('teams');
       $bean->teams->replace($teams);
   }
}
