Unable to save array of pointers in cloud code

[nirvana74v]

var planobjar = []; for(var item of plansel) { var planob = {"objectId": item.planid, "__type": "Pointer", "className": "Plans"}; var pobj = {"planid": planob, "qty": item.qty, "unit":item.unit}; planobjar.push(planob); } var nClass = Parse.Object.extend("myClass"); var robj = new nClass(); robj.set ( 'planSelection', planobjar); robj.save({ success: function(planres) { // code }, error:function(error) { // code } });

If I try to save this array into an array field it doesn't save, but if it's an array without pointer it saves properly

[flovilmart]

and what object is supposedly saves as a pointers array? I don't see any pointer arrays, but plain old objects. And nothing related to the code snipped you provided.

[nirvana74v]

Sorry for the wrong log, I've updated the previous log

[flovilmart]

This is not an array of pointers, if I loot at a single element:

{ "planid": { "objectId": "r0PXyUh9pT", "__type": "Pointer", "className": "Plans" }, "qty": "2", "unit": "lb" }

Also, it saves just fine.

[nirvana74v]

any extra information along with pointer like the one posted above makes it save as
[{"planid":{"objectId":"r0PXyUh9pT"},"qty":"2","unit":"lb"}]
you can check it,

Create an array field
create a pointer object for class
add that as JSON object noted above and save
, "__type": "Pointer", "className": "Plans"
will get removed

[flovilmart]

is it an issue with the JS SDK or parse-server? AFAICT this seems to be on parse-server.

Can you provide the verbose log for a fetch of that object?

[nirvana74v]

I think the issue seem to be with parse server, as I am not able to save the pointer details along with any other meta information even while saving from PHP. Should I post this issue under parse-server?

[flovilmart]

Yes that would be better, please also fill completely the issue template from the parse-server issue report.

[nirvana74v]

Sure will do .. thanks
