[TYPO3-mvc] Modifies objects inside objectStorages don't seem to get persisted

[Peter Bücker]

Hello,

I just ran into a similar issue. Turned out that I was missing a TCA
configuration file for the table not being persisted. The error was
logged in the TYPO3 backend log, but didn't raise an exception in the
frontend. Maybe this helps you out ;-)
