Overwrite issue in a multi-language kirby-5 beta setup

[creativecomplexity-kk]

I'm (now fully) aware that the plugin currently is not finally intended to be compatible with k5.
But I was using it when working on a fresh kirby project with latest version kirby-5.0.0-beta.6 & the latest v5.0.0. of recently-modified in php 8.4.1 local and server environments.

• In this setup, I have two languages (primary EN, secondary DE).
• When initially creating and saving primary language content, everything is fine.
• But once I save a secondary language content, the fields get reset.

Concretely:

• The primary EN content is overwritten with the secondary DE content

• Template settings (toggle, toggles, select and conditional fields) are reset to an empty state, even if a default value is assigned.

• The fields are even overwritten when it has the preference translate: false.

• Once I re-edit and save the primary language content, the secondary language is not affected.

• But once I edit the secondary language, the overwrite happens again.

After initial confusion, the kirby team helped me narrow down that the issue was directly linked to the recently-modified plugin (validated with a clean instance, only this plugin - the issue occurred. I also went through each plugin I'm using separately.)

So, the kirby team is aware of this issue and recommended raising this issue here for you as well. They are also looking into the underlying reason why this might happen.

thanks for reporting. my early port to k5 was before their change in the content storage logic (before beta.3). I will wait for the rc-1 before dig deeper into this.

in the meantime please do not use the plugin as like you noticed it might overwrite content unintentionally.

my initial hunch is that the panel field of the plugin is messing with the content when forcefully loading the page object here:

kirby3-recently-modified/index.php

Line 216 in 93c6a34

if ($page = $kirby->page($id)) {

and that would mean i need to change that behaviour somehow.

@creativecomplexity-kk I did not check the kirby github repo issues yet. maybe you can tell me if the core kirby team did update you with any information regarding the issue on their end?

I didn't get any (personal) updates since my last communication with them in April.
