Self-related fields not being updated about laravel-administrator

[janhartigan]

Hey @demogar, could you describe the issue in a little more detail? What steps can I take to reproduce this?

[demogar]

Sure, sorry for that. I'll try to be as clear as possible, let me know if it makes sense.

Description of the issue:

The field that is related to the model is not being updated after selecting a new object on the dropdown.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a model that has a self-relationship
• Create a new record for that model (I created it on the DB directly by importing a CSV, so I'm not sure if it creates the object perfectly).
• Now update the model, by selecting a different "parent" (the field that is related to itself) from the dropdown.

Expected behaviour:

When a new record foreign record is selected (the field that belongs to itself, for example) the records needs to be updated with the new information.

Thanks for adding some more detail. However, I'm still having a hard time replicating this. So let me get this straight:

• you created a new record using a CSV import. What fields are in this import? What's the name of the field you're trying to update? What values are in the fields when you import it?
• you then open up the admin interface...does it initially show you the correct value? What value do you try to change it to? What happens after you hit save? Does it save the other fields?

More info that would be helpful:

• Your Eloquent and admin models
• Your db schema and maybe a screenshot of the rows in question in phpmyadmin

Thanks again!

I'm closing this for now. Let me know if you've still got problems!
