I have a collection with a certain number field I want to bump up whenever a visitor clicks something
When browsing another language, I am getting this error:
WDE0175: Writes to translatable collections are not allowed in non-primary language
While I understand it could be problematic with multilingual fields - this is a simple number field
How can I bypass that?
What!?
You’re telling me that if a collection is being used with the native multilingual feature—— you cannot modify the collection value because it will only allow you to modify the collection associated with the language being viewed!?
That’s such an inconvenient flaw.
I barely recommended to a client for the first time to use the native feature—— and now I have to tell them it is flawed.
All of my multilingual clients with database collections are currently either:
(1) setting values to page elements via code depending on the language being selected.
(2) collapsing and expanding sections based on language selected
@codequeen I KNOW RIGHT??
I understand the need to keep values the same, so it can be problematic to edit a translated text
But how is a functional site supposed to behave on its non-primary language?
I have the update function running from the backend, not even frontend! It’s being called by a web module of course, and that is enough to screw it up!
I can create another untranslatable collection referencing this one, and keep numeric values there - but that is kinda stupid
