Re: Cakephp 3 ignores new field when adding new record (Bookmarker tutorial, bake, patchEntity())

Hey,

ok I got it. I had added a "virtual property" to my User-Entity before like so:

    protected function _getGender() {
        $genders = $this->getGenders();
        if(isset($this->_properties['gender']) && isset($genders[$this->_properties['gender']])) {
            $genderLabel = $genders[$this->_properties['gender']];
            return $genderLabel;
        } else {
            return '';
        }
    }

I didn't know that this will overwrite any existing value for the property "gender" when reading/saving a user record and turns it into a string , and that's going to be saved as 0 because the table has an INT field instead of a string. I modified the virtual property to

    protected function _getGenderLabel() {..}

and now I can use this in my views like so:

    <?php echo $user->genderLabel; ?>

Currently this sounds a bit dumb, but maybe it helps someone else who runs into the same problem.
