I'm having a problem I really don't know how to solve, and need your knowledge. I have a custom entity that someone created, and forgot to add the "changed" field. So the objective is to add this field, and updated all entities to set the "changed" field to be equal to the "created" field.
Somehow even if I've updated the entity inserting this changed field, the database shows it, and when dumping the entity this field exists, somehow when I try to set a value to it, it does show an error:
I'll show what I've done to insert this field.
Inside the .module
function module_update_9012()
{
$changed = \Drupal\Core\Field\BaseFieldDefinition::create('changed')
->setLabel(t('Changed'))
->setDescription(t('The time that the entity was last edited.'));
\Drupal::entityDefinitionUpdateManager()
->installFieldStorageDefinition('changed', 'trialmachine_evaluation', 'trialmachine_evaluation', $changed);
}
Inside the Evaluation entity
use EntityChangedTrait;
public static function baseFieldDefinitions(EntityTypeInterface $entity_type)
{
$fields = parent::baseFieldDefinitions($entity_type);
//There are other fields, but they are not needed for this example.
$fields['changed'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('changed')
->setLabel(t('Changed'))
->setDescription(t('The time that the entity was last edited.'));
return $fields;
}
I've also extended the ContentEntityBase and implemented the EvaluationInterface. While in the EvaluationInterface I've extended the ContentEntityInterface and EntityChangedInterface.
I added the changed to entity_keys on the annotations, and run drush cr to rebuild the cache, and everything.
Then, I'm trying to simply update the field programmatically using a route with a controller to test it. This is what I did:
$evaluations = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('trialmachine_evaluation')->loadMultiple();
if (!empty($evaluations)) {
foreach ($evaluations as $item) {
if (empty($item->changed->value)) {
//$item->set('changed', $item->created->value);
//$item->changed->value = $item->created->value;
//$item->changed = $item->created->value;
$item->setChangedTime($item->created->value);
$item->save();
}
}
}
In this example there are commented lines to show what I've tried to do, but in any of these atempts the same error appeared.
Dump of the entity object. The data are '---' for privacy reasons, there are right data types in there.
