Doesn't work with Editablefields

>>> [!note] Migrated issue   Reported by: [bkat](https://www.drupal.org/user/131398) >>> I'm trying to use editablefields module on multifield subfields to allow editing of elements on the parent nodes view page or within views. I have things pretty much working except that when editablefields calls entity_save() nothing actually gets written to the database. entity_save is a no op because we don't have a save method on the entity, no "save callback" is defined for the entity info and MultifieldEntityController does not implement EntityAPIControllerInterface. I cooked up a save callback that is working in my limited case <ol> <li>use $entity->type to figure out the table holding the actual multifield data</li> <li>query the entity_type, bundle, entity_id, language, and delta from the field_data_$type table</li> <li>use the entity_type, bundle and entity_id to load the parent entity</li> <li>copy values from the pseudo entity into the correct field in the parent entity</li> <li>save the parent entity </li><li> </li></ol> <pre>/** * Save a naked psuedo entity, generally called from entity_save. * Only tested from editablefields module * @param stdClass $entity */ function multifield_save_callback(stdClass $entity) {   // Query the field_data table for information needed to load the parent entity   $field_name = $entity->type;   $table = 'field_data_'.$field_name;   $id_column = $field_name."_id";   $row = db_select($table, 't')     ->fields('t', array('entity_type', 'bundle', 'entity_id', 'language', 'delta'))     ->condition($id_column, $entity->id, '=')     ->execute()     ->fetchObject();   $language = $row->language;   $delta = $row->delta;   // Now load the parent entity   $query = new EntityFieldQuery();   $result = $query->entityCondition('entity_type', $row->entity_type)     ->entityCondition('bundle', $row->bundle)     ->entityCondition('entity_id', $row->entity_id)     ->execute();   if (isset($result[$row->entity_type])) {     $entity_ids = array_keys($result[$row->entity_type]);     $parent = entity_load_single($row->entity_type, $entity_ids[0]);   }   // Set values from the pseudo entity   foreach ($parent->{$field_name}[$language][$delta] as $key => $value) {     $parent->{$field_name}[$language][$delta][$key] = $entity->$key;   }   // save the parent entity   entity_save($row->entity_type, $parent); }</pre>I'm attaching a patch for the code I'm using. Please note, that I've also applied patches for migrate field handler, views integration, and entity api support before working on this. >>> [!note] Pre-migration files - [multifield-savecallback.patch](https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/multifield-savecallback.patch) >>>
