Failed to save dynamic attributes from POST

[outOFFspace]

If add to from dynamic field e.g:

$form->field($product, 'dynamic_attribute_name')
                ->dropDownList(explode(',', $attribute->variants), ['required' => $attribute->required])
                ->label($attribute->title);

those attributes will not saved.

Have you verified that dynamic attributes in this model can be set and saved by other methods?

I just created new model and detect that dynamic attributes saved to db, but when i try to access them - I always get null

I'm not in a position to debug this from here. I would need to see all of the relevant code.

model:

class Product extends \spinitron\dynamicAr\DynamicActiveRecord {

   public static function dynamicColumn()
   {
        return 'params';
    }
}

view _attributes:

if($attributes) {
    foreach($attributes as $attribute) {
        if ($attribute->is_multiple) {
            echo $form->field($product,  $attribute->alias)->dropDownList(explode(',', $attribute->variants));
        } else {
            echo $form->field($product, $attribute->alias);
        }
    }
}

action:

public function actionEdit($id = null)
    {
        $model = null;
        $parent = null;
        if (null === $id) {
            $model = new Product();
            $model->loadDefaultValues();
            $model->currency_id = Currency::getMainCurrency()->id;
        } else {
            $model = Product::findOne($id);
        }

        $attributes = ProductAttribute::find()->all();
        if (null === $model) {
            throw new NotFoundHttpException();
        }

        $post = \Yii::$app->request->post();

I also get null when I try to access attribute. I tried basic

$model = $this->findModel($id); $model->specs = 'test'; $model->save();

and I see [BLOB - 19 B] in database, then when I load model and dump it I get ..... private _attributes -> array (9) [ 'id' => integer 2 'dynamic_attribute' => string UTF-8 (19) "?????????specs!test" ]

however $model->getAttribute('specs') just returns null

I tried different combinations and, but no success. Using all the latest versions of yii2, php7 and mariadb Where could I start debugging and fixing? Any advice would be appreciated :)

I think i have figured it out and it was supper obvious, i was not extending DynamicActiveQuery for my ModelQuery. Now it appears to be working with simple tests (I will test it further). Thanks for writing the extension by the way!
