it's a bug. In 3.8.0 the existence of method
"processDatamap_preProcessFieldArray" is checked and then this method is
called.
so just place a dummy function called
"processDatamap_preProcessIncomingFieldArray" which contains nothing in the
class and put your code to function "processDatamap_preProcessFieldArray"

that will also work in 3.8.0
