API page: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--field--field.attach.inc/functi...

Describe the problem you have found:

Lack of data format definition. I had a field attached to an entity via the field UI. in the submit function I need to insert data from another form into this field but the entity only had an empty array.

Would be nice if the "$entity->{field name} = array( {language} => array (0 => array('value' => {value to insert})));" was documented. Probably better to put it in the Field API overview.

This structure is actually documented on this page:
http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--field--field.multilingual.inc/...

But it would probably be good if the Field Attach API topic linked to the Field Language topic to indicate this. Good novice project I think?

Title: Documentation problem with field_attach_submit » Field Attach API topic/group page should link to Field Language API page

http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--field--field.attach.inc/group/... is the page that should link to http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--field--field.multilingual.inc/...

See http://drupal.org/node/1354#links for how to make links with @link.

That link looks fine, yes. Thanks!

Note that this patch will interfere with the patch for #1349610: make the subtopics of Field API link back to it. One of them will need a reroll when the other is committed.

Here's a D7 version.
I noticed that language didn't have a L - is that a problem?

This patch is fine. We have differing standards on "Sentence case" vs. "Title Case" in Drupal documentation, and I'm not too particular about enforcing either one.

No longer applies, most likely due to #1349610: make the subtopics of Field API link back to it.
