Process Definition not Triggered from $bean->save()

Hi Maryam. 

The code I provided is using the $bean->ignore_update_c so the code is not saving more than once. I don't think this is the issue for what I am experiencing.

Thanks,

I am unable to understand that why you are added the following lines in your code:
$bean->ignore_update_c = true;
$dataChanges = $bean->dataChanges;
$bean->save();
$bean->dataChanges = $dataChanges;

What is the purpose? You are not updating anything in bean apart from ignore_update_c and ignore_update_c need to use when calling save. So you should not use both. 

It is like you have added both a problem and a solution by ownself. 

Hi Maryam.

The function "checkForAcpFieldChanges" uses stored rows to check if data has changed:

e.g.

if ((isset($bean->stored_fetched_row_c) && $bean->stored_fetched_row_c["$crmField"] != $bean->$crmField) && $bean->acp_update_c != 1) 
					{
						$bean->acp_update_c = 1;
					}

I think I understand what you are saying now, but how do I set the $bean to recognise a field change without calling $bean->save() in the after save?

Hi Maryam Aslam - I just want to say a massive thank you! I never even realised you could process the whole record in before_save, that solves so many other issues.

For anyone else reading, "Fetched Row" gets the before value and the $bean in before_save actually has the new value!

For data changes why you are not getting this info from arguments?

function contactsAfterSave($bean, $event, $arguments) {

       $arguments['dataChanges']['YourFieldName']['before']   //contains old value

       $arguments['dataChanges']['YourFieldName']['after']   //contains new value

}

By this, you will simply recognize :) 

Welcome :)

Yes, For before_save logic hook it is the flow.
For the after_save logic hook, we need to look into the $arguments for getting old and new values.
