I have two custom attributes for categories. The code for both is similar apart from the attribute_code but one is not being saved when trying to add a value in adminhtml.

That's the UpgradeData.php where I add the attribute that's not saved:

$eavSetup->addAttribute(Category::ENTITY, 'megamenu_side_block', [

    'type' => 'text',

    'input' => 'textarea',

    'label' => 'Menu Side Block',

    'required' => 0,

    'user_defined' => 1,

    'wysiwyg_enabled' => 1,

    'is_html_allowed_on_front' => 1,

    'global' => ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_WEBSITE,

]);

That's the part of category_form.xml where I create the adminhtml field:

<field name="megamenu_side_block" template="ui/form/field" sortOrder="51" formElement="wysiwyg">

    <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">

        <item name="config" xsi:type="array">

            <item name="wysiwygConfigData" xsi:type="array">

                <item name="settings" xsi:type="array">

                    <item name="theme_advanced_buttons1" xsi:type="string">bold,italic,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,|,fontselect,fontsizeselect,|,forecolor,backcolor,|,link,unlink,image,|,bullist,numlist,|,code

                    </item>

                    <item name="theme_advanced_buttons2" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>

                    <item name="theme_advanced_buttons3" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>

                    <item name="theme_advanced_buttons4" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>

                    <item name="theme_advanced_statusbar_location" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>

                </item>

                <item name="files_browser_window_url" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>

                <item name="height" xsi:type="string">250px</item>

                <item name="toggle_button" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>

                <item name="add_variables" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>

                <item name="add_widgets" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>

                <item name="add_images" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>

                <item name="add_directives" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>

            </item>

            <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Megamenu Side Block</item>

            <item name="source" xsi:type="string">category</item>

            <item name="template" xsi:type="string">ui/form/field</item>

            <item name="wysiwyg" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>

            <item name="dataScope" xsi:type="string">megamenu_side_block</item>

            <item name="rows" xsi:type="number">8</item>

        </item>

    </argument>

</field>

What I already checked:

• The attribute is added to the table eav_attribute
  


• When I debug into MagentoCatalogControllerAdminhtmlCategorySave::execute() the value is there and after $category->save() I can still get the value with
  $category->getMegamenuSideBlock()
  


• I tried to add a value manually but it didn't work either it wasn't loaded in backend


• When I change dataScope in xml to the attribute_code that is working the other attribute value is loaded just fine

As I said before I have a second attribute that uses the same code as above (just with different attribute_code) and that is working perfectly fine.

I've already checked several posts here but I didn't see any difference to my code or it didn't work.

What could be the reason that it's not saved to the database? Am I missing something in my code?

Use functions like below

 public function beforeSave($object)

    {

        $attributeName = $this->getAttribute()->getName();

        $value = $object->getData($attributeName);



        if ($imageName = $this->getUploadedImageName($value)) {

            $object->setData($this->additionalData . $attributeName, $value);

            $object->setData($attributeName, $imageName);

        } elseif (is_string($value)) {

            $object->setData($attributeName, null);

        }

        return parent::beforeSave($object);

    }







public function afterSave($object)

    {

        $value = $object->getData($this->additionalData . $this->getAttribute()->getName());



     --Write your code--

        return $this;

    }
