We have a Craft-based email campaign builder that is up to date with Craft 3.7.x and plugins. I have a business logic plugin that works for a lot of custom functions but I can't seem to get this going.
Basically, our users clone a lot of existing entries (email campaigns) to create new ones, rather than creating them from scratch. When they clone (in the Control Panel using Save > Save as New Entry), I am running EVENT_BEFORE_SAVE_ELEMENT in the plugin, which is firing. Here's what's going on in that event:
Event::on(
Elements::class,
Elements::EVENT_BEFORE_SAVE_ELEMENT,
function (ElementEvent $event) {
$element = $event->element;
if(
$element
&& $element instanceof Entry
&& $element->getSection()->handle == 'emailCampaigns'
&& !$element->getIsRevision() // is not revision
&& !$element->getIsDraft() // is not draft
&& !$element->propagating // not during propagating (avoid batch propagating)
&& !$element->resaving // not during resaving (avoid batch resaving)
) {
$isNew = $event->isNew;
$isDuplicate = $element->duplicateOf;
if($isNew && $isDuplicate instanceof Entry) {
//update post date and author
$element->dateCreated = new \DateTime();
$element->postDate = new \DateTime();
$currentuser = Craft::$app->getUser()->getIdentity();
$element->author = $currentuser;
$element->authorId = $currentuser->getId();
}
}
}
);
By print_r'ing $element I can see that the author and dates have been changed as I wish in the element, but once the save is complete and I am looking at the new entry in the Control Panel, the author and dates remain the same as the old entry.
Any ideas?
