Re-ordering fields does not work

[torleif]

Steps to reproduce:

1. create a page with 10 or so fields
2. reorder a field
3. the reorder fails and times out

Our production system times out when someone reorders an item (by drag and dropping it in the CMS)

While on dev mode, I've got this response time:

this is on a modest page with about 10 or so form fields. I've taken a xdebug profile of a reorder, so i might be able to give some more insight into why it's failing

After a bit of digging, i've found:

1. this does not affect a fresh install. It looks like it's one our extensions causing it (most likely a CWP extension, none of our codebase is being called after a profile)
2. I've managed to address the issue by overriding modifying GridFieldEditableColumns.php handleSave() to use $item->write(false, false, false, false); as it seems to be one component on the page
3. i don't know what component it is at the moment

Is that an officially supported CWP extension? or one defined in your custom code base?

[torleif]

@emteknetnz I've tried it on a fresh CWP install. It does not appear to be affected.

So i guess the offending code is in our code base, or an extension we've got. feel free to close this. i think it warrants more investigation on our end

Based on the above I'll close this issue. We can re-open it if a problem is found with a supported extension.

We're getting more angry CMS admins not being able to edit user forms. From what I can tell this is a duplicate of #773

Hi @torleif, are your replication steps still the same of creating a page with 10 or so fields on a production system? You've mentioned using the CWP recipe, if that's the case I'm not sure how related to #773 it would be. For me, running the following can be done in under 7 seconds on a small CWP stack:

• Use a user defined form page with 50 fields over five page breaks,
• Change the field type of every field,
• Change the field title of every field,
• Save the page

[torleif]

@brynwhyman yes the steps were the same, a modest 10 or so fields. though a key step was re-ordering one or more of the fields

Sorry forgot to mention that, I also tried replacing the 'Save the page' step with 'Re-order a field' and saw the same result of completing within ~7 seconds.
