Description
This issue is affecting plugins that uses ajax to update values. I have a custom meta box to update post custom meta with ajax. If i have to update the content and the meta value (with ajax) at the same time, the main Publish/Update button is ignoring previous value saved with ajax. In order to save meta value with ajax, i have to update the value and then refresh the page, to update the content.
Is also affecting "post_views_count" plugin. If i have to edit an old post, and while updating, the post has new views, after i hit Update button, will ignore the new views of the post and will save the old number of views.
If there is already a small Update button on Custom Fields that updates meta value with ajax, the main Publish/Update button shouldn't update the meta fields.
Hi @Er_eri,
Thank you for opening this ticket, and welcome to Trac! My apologies that it took so long for you to receive a response.
It seems like you are describing a race condition. Unfortunately, there is no way to "version" meta values to ensure this does not happen. You will need to account for this in your code.
