Hmm that's super weird… I'll check it out over the weekend.

Hi @leevigraham, any update on this? We're still experiencing this issue. I'm pretty sure https://github.com/newism/craft3-fields/issues/45 is related.

Similarly, when an NSM field is within a nested field (i.e., Matrix, Neo, etc.) it does not correctly apply draft values to the entry. This occurs for most NSM fields with the exception of Email. Additionally, it doesn't seem to matter what the nested parent's localization pattern is; it occurs for both localized and non-localized parent blocks.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add NSM field within a nested block.
2. "Create a draft" and add values to NSM fields.
3. Publish draft.
4. See error. NSM field values from draft are not present in Entry.

Haven't looked into it yet. I'm running a 3.7 update today so I'll check at the same time.

@sidedwards I think I've finally figured this out. Can you try v1.0.4 if you're still using the plugin: https://github.com/newism/craft3-fields/releases/tag/1.0.4
