Hi, I thing I have found a bug in the flexicontent api.

I set some custom values like this and save the item.

$item = $value;

After saving, my other custom fields (which I have not modified) will be cleared. It will not be maintain with the exisiting value.

What can I do?

Hi, thanks for your help, but it doesn't work.

The function returns the wrong structure:
Code:
"custom": { "359": { "15": [ "value of 15" ], "20": [ "value of 20" ], "21": [ "value of 21" ], ....

regards,

Frank

Hello

indeed, it will need some restructuring, and also it will need:
PHP unserialize on the values too

need to look at this and update the FAQ article
