I am having a problem as follows:

1. Two sites with different names - say Site 1 and Site 2
2. Two blogs with different names - say Blog 1 and Blog 2, each with differently-named template groups, but with identically named templates
3. Two different sets of custom fields with different field group names
4. Here’s the critical point - the individual field names in the two field groups are the same.

The SAEF has no problem with this, but the Form helper will only update the contents of the textarea fields of of the earler site - (Site 1 Blog1), but not those belonging to the later site (Site 2)

Note that only textarea fields seem to be affected - dropdowns and text fields seem to work OK, but I have not checked this exhaustively.

If I make the field names for Site 2 Blog 2 different, then the updates work - so there is a workaround, but I would prefer to keep the filed names identical for ease-of-maintenance. I have tried using the Site IDs in the EE tags to differentiate the fields, but that had no effect.

Form helper version 1.9 and EE Build 20070918

Any help appreciated.
