Description

I have a matrix field used for different content options such as a Text block or Image block, but none of the data selected or inputted will save. It just empties the field out.

Here is the POST REQUEST in the logs:

$_POST = [
'elementType' => 'craft\elements\Entry'
'elementId' => '27'
'siteId' => '1'
'seoHandle' => 'seo'
'typeId' => '1'
'CRAFT_CSRF_TOKEN' => '••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••'

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Matrix field save using the submitted POST data and Craft 3.1.25, focusing on the pageContent block and its empty text value. Compare the submitted matrix data with the persisted entry; done means the selected and entered Matrix content remains after saving.
