Error when validating field [slug_is_key]

[DomZ3DF]

Hey,

I followed your tutorial on a clean directus V11.0.2 installation to check out your extension.

In my collection "pages" I let the extension create the pages_meta table and linked it.
After that, I also chose the field "Title" to be used to slugify.

Unfortunately I always receive the error message "Error when validating field [slug_is_key]" in the console.

What is the problem here?

Thank you!
Best regards
Dominik

Hi @DomZ3DF , could you please send me the message from the console as well?

I just tested this extension in v11.0.2 and I can replicate the issue. There seems to be a bug in Directus .If I try to create toggle field manually I cannot preset its value or force values not being null. To fix this I recommend to upgrade Directus to v 11.1.0. If you decide to go this way, let me know this suggestion works for you, I'll update docs subsequently.

I just updated to 11.1.0 but still have the same problem.
If I choose the right table, it wont load.

Btw: the datasets in pages_meta look empty

Tell me if you need anything else.
Thank you.

Did you use the collection previously created in v11.0.2 or this is a brand new one?

[DomZ3DF]

I deleted it and created a new pages_meta.
Pages is still the same.

What database are you using?

[DomZ3DF]

Percona 8.0 MySQL

[digital-cowboy-91]

Would you be able to replicate your steps on SQLite (Directs default) or PostgreSQL, please? Yesterday , I tested this extension on PostgreSQL

Also I just had a minute to take a look on your screenshots. The issue is different this time, which is good. Now it seems to complain about rel_item. If this is your testing database, remove please both collections and recreate pages with ID as UUID.

Edit: you don't have to remove your main collection of you don't want to, you can create a new one just for this test.

[DomZ3DF]

I can set it up later with SQLite or Postgre.

I created pages with a UUID and let your extension create the pages_meta table, but still the same error message like in the images before.

[digital-cowboy-91]

Thanks, at least the issue is consistent. I'll try to spin up container with MySQL later today

Hi, I just want to let you know, I was able to replicate the issue in Percona v8.0. Currently I can't give you an estimate when the fix will come. I will have time to look at this issue probably this weekend. Till then, I recommend you to use Postgres or SQLite (unless you will be able to replicate the issue there as well of course).

Update: This behaviour seems to be a bug in Directus directus/directus#22855 , hence I will not be proceeding with a fix yet
