[Flow] The Definitive Guide Blog Data Not Sent To The Database

[Steffen Wickham]

Hello again Richard! ;)

Yeah the definitive guide is a bit outdated at this point. There was a
breaking change from Flow 1.X to 2.0 where safe requests were introduced
to Flow. All HTTP GET requests to any Controller of Flow are meant to be
save requests, so no modified (or created) data will be saved. To save
the created data you have to do a POST request to your function or just
add "$this->persistenceManager->persistAll();" at the lower bottom of
your method, just before your return statement and perform another call
to the Setup Controller.

But be warned: This method is very unsafe and should be only used for
testing!

Greetings
Steffen
