Fields for existing items cannot be updated

Hi @jais-p,

Can you share more info about your installation? Currently we don’t have much to work with when trying to reproduce your issue.

It would be great if you can share your Pod by exporting it with the Migrate Packages component.
Also please share a list of active plugins etc. (you can use Site Health in Tools to get the full diagnostics from your site).

Thanks, Jory

Hi @jory
Thanks for your message.
Please find the Pod export hereunder.
I guess the problem appeared when I removed some fields from this pod. Although the fields were removed, the corresponding custom fields still existed on all pod’s items. I’ve removed them through the backoffice but nothing changed.
New items created doesn’t suffer from the problem.

I imported this structure and I had no issue editing the existing records in the back-end admin.

You need to perform a Conflict Test: https://docs.pods.io/faqs/plugin-theme-conflicts/

If you’re still having issues after doing that, you’ll need to submit a but report:
https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues/new

also verify you’re not using any fields that are ‘reserved names’. I was little concerned with your ‘posts’ relationship field. You always want to name relationshp fields like related_posts, ‘posts’ might be conflicting.
