Synchronization not working

Changing this to a critical bug report as nobody has responded and this strikes me as a critical problem with this module. If the form submission is updated, it should update the associated entity, yet fails to do so.

I am playing with this module to see if it would fit my needs and I came across this bug. Once thing I noticed is the options for syncing are very similar so I started doing some debugging. As long as I checked "Synchronize Webform submission with the created content in edition?", this would run through the process of syncing webform and node with the node field of "field_submission_id". Within the fields for managing the conversion, you just need to make sure you are mapping that field with the forms sid value. This allowed me to save new field data based on the saving of the previous form submission.

In the yml file for the Webform Content Creator I also made sure the config was saving correctly. So in the config there is a line for:

...
sync_content: true
...

As long as this was true it was working just fine for me.

I am definitely doing all that. The difference is I want to also sync in both directions: If the webform is edited, the entity is updated; and if the entity is edited, then the webform is updated.

That said, I can work with updating just the webform rather than the entity.

But it is critical that, if the webform is deleted, then the entity is also deleted.

However, I went looking for the configuration yml file you indicated. Which file are you referring to? I looked in a number of files, and the only one which had a section that said "sync content" was the schema file, but that doesn't specify any settings at all. So, where is this particular line you're talking about?

For me, I can confirm that the sync works only one way (from webform to entity). Using webform_content_creator Version : 4.0.9 on Drupal 10.4.6.

I am using this module to create Article content when the webform is submitted. The article creation was working fine, but when the submission was edited, the article was not updating accordingly.

If anyone is facing issues with Webform -> Content synchronization, or in other words, wants to update the content entity when webform submission is edited, then here is how I solved my issue. Thanks to this comment in a similar issue 💬 Synchronization doesn't work Fixed .

1. In the article content type, I created a field Webform Sync of type Number (integer).

2. Then, in the Edit form of Webform Content Creator entity (/admin/config/webform_content_creator/webform_article), I checked the option "Synchronize Webform submission with the created content in edition".

3. In the Synchronization field machine name textbox, I entered the machine name of the field Webform Sync, that is field_webform_sync.

4. Then, in the Field Mapping page (admin/config/webform_content_creator/manage/webform_article/fields), I mapped Webform Sync (field_webform_sync) with Submission ID (sid).

After this, when I edit the submissions, the corresponding content is updated accordingly.

Hello sandeshyadav,

Thanks for providing the explanation, I added it in the main page of the module to avoid issues in the future!

Best regards.
