Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hello,
When there is an existing node with embedded viewfield that is being updated by a user with a role that does not have "Edit {nodetype} {viewfieldname}" persmission in cck_field_perms module, the viewfield gets reset to a "None" value upon saving the node. It should, however, just ignore any changes to the viewfield (in fact, the changes are not possible - user doesn't even see the field in editing mode) if the user saving it does not have a right to edit the field.
It might be a cck_field_perms problem as well. Any ideas?

SaxxIng commentedThe same problem arise in 6.x-1.x-dev and is quite serious because of the reset of the informations (config) associated to the ViewField (so I think it is a bug report more than a future request).
Unfortunately the reset of the config values of the ViewFields is quite common and arise also in other circumstances (i.e. on synchronization of fields of translatable contents).
I hope that this kind of bugs can be resolved on future releases, because ViewField is really a great useful module!
