We have been working with Robin from EE on a issue we have with one website. Here are some high level notes on the issue.

Content from 2 channels share a fluid field
Those 2 channels have revisions turned on
We have a different channel that we import data into with datagrab. That channel does not have a fluid field.

The problem: Content in those fluids fields are getting wiped out periodically. We are trying to figure out what is making the content disappear.

There might be a correlation with the content disappearing in these two channels with a datagrab import that runs nightly. But, we are not sure.

Is there anything you can think of that might cause this to happen?

- Will your Logit addon pick up behavior from the CLI as well as the CP - something to help us zero in on what’s happening when the data get’s nuked?

I ran some tests locally and Fluid fields seemed unaffected by any imports, whether it had a Fluid field in the import channel or Fluid fields in other channels. In the Datagrab_fluid_field.php file there is also this at line 160, which should prevent it from trying to modify any field data if there was nothing specifically imported into it.

if (!empty($fluid)) {
            $data['field_id_' . $fieldId]['fields'] = $fluid;
        }

Logit might pick something up, hard to say without knowing what is going on. Download the trial and give it a shot.
