Description: When saving an entry that has a block with an Atom that has a required field, it throws a fatal error that the fieldtype is null (screenshot: Capture2.png).

Ansel: 2.0.11 (but tested with current Ansel as well)

Atom field is an Ansel field that has the “Require Title” field set to “Yes” (screenshot: require-title.png)
Ansel Atom itself is NOT required.

3.2.0 PublishController.php Line 329 is:

$fieldtype->setSetting('grid_row_id', $blockId);

I tried upgrading Ansel and Bloqs and the issue persisted but with a different fatal error on a different line:

Call to a member function getShortName() on null

4.0.5 PublishController.php Line 318 is:

$block->addAtom($atomDefinition->getShortName(), $atom);

Debugging this error led me to find that an array key of “search” was being added to the “values” array of the block data (screenshot: data.png).

I don’t know where this “search” is coming from but my test fix was modifying this line and adding the check for “search” in the “$valueId”:
4.0.5 PublishController Line 294:

if ($valueId === 'search' || substr($valueId, -6) === '_error') {
