modx revo 2.8.5 tamplate - available for template (tvs) doesn't save info, only checkboxes
Bug report
Summary
Modx revo 2.8.5 tamplate - available for template (tvs) doesn't save info, only checkboxes. Nor name no order will be saved.
Step to reproduce
Go to any template, check it's template variables, try to rename one, or change sort number. On save - checkbox will be saved, name and sort number wouldn't.
Observed behavior
Fields will stay after save.
Expected behavior
Should save new info.
Environment
MODX version 2.8.5
I confirm! The name and label of the TV changes when double-clicked, BUT is not saved. Moreover, if TV is located in a category, then problems also appear for sorting.
p.s. This is probably also true for the 3.x branch.
Nor name no order will be saved.
The value in the column "Rank" (Сортировка) is saved correctly, when the checkbox "Access" (Доступ) is checked. This "Rank" value is specific to the template the TV is assigned to. If the TV is not assigned to the template, then there is no place to store the value.

What is the expected solution for this issue?
Just to disable the inline editing of the columns "name" and "caption" in the grid?
Here in the code: https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/blob/3f887dc6494fe32d3b2a52da20ec76a63bc8fb7d/manager/assets/modext/widgets/element/modx.grid.template.tv.js#L53
Or to add the missing functionality to the update processor?

@Ruslan-Aleev In MODX 3, you removed the inline edition in the grid (https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/commit/369ea78d2d5f4decbb3e2e02826229fe2e9f874a). So I suppose this is the preferred solution for the 2.x branch as well?

I understand about "Access", yes. BUT, there seems to be a problem with sorting if TVs are located inside a category (not without a category, but within a separate category). Check back if you have time.

I think yes. There is no need to add new functionality for the 2.x branch.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean exactly.
Where is the sorting wrong? In the "Template Variables" tab (shown in your screenshot above) when edition a template? Or in the "Template Variables" tab of a resource?
Where is the sorting wrong?
Apparently I made a mistake, I double-checked everything again - there is no error, the sorting works.
One more thing - sort field is filled with nuber in tv form, but 0's in category in sort field.
sort field is filled with nuber in tv form, but 0's in category in sort field.
These are two different values.
One is stored in the database table modx_site_tmplvars (column rank) and is set per TV.
The other is stored in the database table modx_site_tmplvar_templates (column rank) and is specific to this template. This value can be used to give the TV a different rank, if it's used in multiple templates and should appear in a different position.
Ok, See now. Didn't know this one, seems totally useless)) The way to move categories attached to templates in diffetent order, that would be really useful, while building multiple pages, containing same info blocks. To have them in order as on page.
