We have an entity form. It contains an entity reference field. You can see it in action here: http://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/college-user-support/college-staff-tr...

Click on a class and click the Register Now button.

That entity reference field for "Select College" has worked just fine for a number of weeks. Last week after doing these updates http://ls-team.info/unicron/ the form submissions are sometimes not capturing the entity reference field. It is not included in the submission table nor the email.

Note that it sometimes does and sometimes doesn't capture the college.

Not sure what it could be. I am going to change this a support request b/c this module isn't really involved in the Entity Reference field.

Have you tested it manually? Is it failing randomly for you or just real users? See what happens if you type in a string that doesn't match a college? Tried maybe failing the captcha? Basically do everything you think to try to get it fail? To find what your users are doing

Okay after many tests the issue is known. What is happening is that the autocomplete field adds the node number in parenthesis after the text. The user says "what is that?" and they backspace to delete the parenthesis and node number.

The autocomplete field recognizes the entry as valid when the node number is manually deleted. However, it does not capture the entered value because of some reason, guessing during the save process it doesn't recognize it and doesn't capture value.

So my guess is that is passes the initial validation but doesn't pass when it is saved or Posted.
