Twill: Issue restoring revisions that have blocks with repeaters

[layout-lab]

Hi,

I am an experiencing an issue when a user restores an item to a previous revision that contained a block with repeater item(s) the content within the repeater (translated inputs, media) is lost.

The content does appear in the preview / compare version view.

Does anyone have any tips on what to look for? Or can anyone else replicate this?

Thanks

Hi @layout-lab,

I can certainly replicate but have a question first: are you sure the content does appear in the preview / compare view, even after changing something and not saving? After saving it obviously shows as it is actually in database. What can happen during preview or restore is that the hydration of the model isn't at parity with the model coming from database. Happy to elaborate if that's not clear, but basically during those operations the model is dynamically filled with exactly what would be coming out of the database if it was actually saved.

Hi @ifox,

Thanks for the reply. To elaborate on my comments on the item preview; I was referring to the previous revision rendering correctly, rather than the preview of the item post restore, apologies if this misled you.

Currently I have recommended my users to not use the restore function, which is a shame as it's a great feature!

Thanks again for your work, and for taking the time to reply.
