#887 – Custom field (json) gone when moving articles to different category using batch

Joomla ‎4.1.2 | PHP 8.0.17 | Econa 1.8.3
Hi!

We have moved a bunch of articles from one category (news) to another (news archive) using the batch function (move to category). These articles have an econa custom field. After the bach move the econa custom field images were gone. At least the don't show up in the custom field any more. I do believe the images themselves are still on the server. So it seems like the stored json strings are gone?

I suppose this is a bug? Is there any way to get the image information back into the articles?

The images data is not removed when cahnging the category of one single image. So the issue is with batch changing / moving multiple images.

Kind regards,
Jip

Hi Jip,

Yes unfortunately this is a bug. I have sent you over email the development version of Econa which should solve this issue.

Hi Lefteris, I downloaded the dev version and tested it. This fixed the issue. Excellent! Thanks.
