Description: 
  • The field_attach_submit() function has been renamed to field_attach_extract_form_values() in Drupal 8, in order to more accurately match its role within the overall entity form submission flow (the function is also called during validation).
    Note that calling this function is typically handled by Entity API's form management, and that modules providing their own entity types usually do not need to call it themselves.
  • The associated hook, hook_field_attach_submit(), was also renamed accordingly, to hook_field_attach_extract_form_values().
