Magento2: Custom ExtensionAttributes for Customer_Address not saved into database

Question

I am stuck. I hope someone had already solved my problem. The magento docu does not help me any further.

I added some new ExtensionAttributes for Customer_Address entity. These fields are correctly displaying in checkout. For the customer address edit view I have overwritten the template of the customer_address_edit block.

In both cases the Post data is not saved into the database. No errors given, not system.log neither exception.log or any exception.

In Magento\Customer\Controller\AddressMagento\Customer\Controller\Address\FormPost seem to be some operations that will merge data columns of the customer_address_entity with extensions_attributes or custom_attributes. Some debugging shows me, that my extensions_attributes are recognized here.

But somehow the data get lost on its way to the database. To sum up my little module: I did mostly the same things as Bartlomiejsz in the of 27.Feb comment on this post: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/6575

Use this InstallData.php script to add attribute for customer_address

$customerSetup = $this->customerSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
$customerSetup->addAttribute('customer_address', 'suburb', [
 'label' => 'Suburb',
 'input' => 'text',
 'type' => 'varchar',
 'source' => '',
 'required' => false,
 'position' => 70,
 'visible' => true,
 'system' => false,
 'is_used_in_grid' => false,
 'is_visible_in_grid' => false,
 'is_filterable_in_grid' => false,
 'is_searchable_in_grid' => false,
 'backend' => ''
]);
$attribute = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getAttribute('customer_address', 'suburb')
 ->addData(['used_in_forms' => [
 'adminhtml_customer_address',
 'customer_address_edit',
 'customer_register_address'
 ]]);
$attribute->save();
$salesSetup = $this->salesSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
$salesSetup->addAttribute('order_address', 'suburb', ['type' => 'text']);
$quoteSetup = $this->quoteSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
$quoteSetup->addAttribute('quote_address', 'suburb', ['type' => 'text']);
}
$setup->endSetup();

Create fieldset.xml in etc folder:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:DataObject/etc/fieldset.xsd">
 <scope id="global">
 <fieldset id="sales_convert_quote_address">
 <field name="suburb">
 <aspect name="to_order_address" />
 </field>
 </fieldset>
 </scope>
</config>

Override Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Address to set getter/setter methods:

<?php
/**
 * Copyright © 2013-2017 Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
namespace VendorName\ModuleName\Model\Order;
use Magento\Customer\Api\Data\RegionInterfaceFactory;
use Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderAddressInterface;
use Magento\Sales\Model\AbstractModel;
use Magento\Customer\Model\Address\AddressModelInterface;
/**
 * Sales order address model
 *
 * @method \Magento\Sales\Model\ResourceModel\Order\Address _getResource()
 * @method \Magento\Sales\Model\ResourceModel\Order\Address getResource()
 * @method \Magento\Customer\Api\Data\AddressInterface getCustomerAddressData()
 * @method Address setCustomerAddressData(\Magento\Customer\Api\Data\AddressInterface $value)
 * @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD.CouplingBetweenObjects)
 * @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD.ExcessivePublicCount)
 */
class Address extends \Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Address
{
 public function getSuburb($suburb)
 {
 return $this->getData('suburb', $suburb);
 }
 public function setSuburb($suburb)
 {
 return $this->setData('suburb', $suburb);
 }
}

di.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
 <preference for="Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Address" type="<<VendorName>\<ModuleName>\Model\Order\Address"/>
</config>

Note: You have to place your attribute into checkout_index_index.xml or checkout onepage xml file.

Feel Free to ask!

• grafzahl-io: Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately it is not working yet. What do you mean by your note? Does it mean, even if I added my attribtues through "addAttribute in the Install Model and added in the fieldset.xml I still have to add it in the checkout_index_index.xml?
• Ronak Chauhan: Yes you have to add the attribute in address form
• grafzahl-io: I currently try to save the data that comes from my custom_attributes in customer_address edit view. The data is successfully passed through the objects, which I can see in Customer Address Model updateData method. But the data is not saved into DB. I think my attributes are not setup correctly. What items do I have to put Into eav value for used_in_forms to save the data in this view?
• Ronak Chauhan: You can create an attribute as ''system' => true,`
