Undefined property: stdClass::$original in file_field_update() (line 265..

I am having the same "Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$original in file_field_update() (line 265 of Z:\home\SITENAME\www\modules\file\file.field.inc)." message. However, I am using not the "Corresponding node references" but rather "Entity Reference".

Pretty sure this is a duplicate of - #1714596: Undefined property: stdClass::$original in file_field_update() - which has actually been fixed in the repository.

This ticket isn't a duplicate as such, but the solution found in #1714596: Undefined property: stdClass::$original in file_field_update() for the File field paths module is also needed in CNR.

The final url of that patch is here.

I'm getting this error when I save a node that has a node reference to a node of a content type with an image field. In file_field_update, $entity is the second node, not the node being saved. Does CNR update all nodes referred to by a node being updated? That seems like a design flaw.

FYI i got this error message after having problems with CER. am on D7.19 and the aforementioned patch, which goes back to D7.15, wasnt included in D7.19.

This issue appears also without the mentioned module in Drupal 7.21.

@modules/file/file.field.inc line 264

  // Load the original entity, if $entity->original is not already set.
  $entity->original = (empty($entity->original)) ? $entity->original : entity_load_unchanged($entity_type, $id);

It seems this is fixed in core per D7.22: #985642-80: Remove file_attach_load() from file_field_update()

Closing this to 'works as designed' because of #985642: Remove file_attach_load() from file_field_update().
