League Records don't update while using a custom database.

Hi, could you please provide us with your editor file.  

 

 

 

I've uploaded three:
#1 Wonderkid vs Salah in Greenland.fmf
New CONCACAF Comps.fmf
Greenland.fmf (Not used in save but it doesn't work for this either)

Thanks for the files, we will put under review.  

No problem!

was there a solution to this?

 

I've found the problem exists with Custom competitions, If I have a custom database with existing leagues in a custom structure, no issue.

But if I change out an existing league with one created in editor, it does not record 'modern day' records.

Nice to know I'm not alone! (I didn't see this problem in FM15, for what it's worth.)

I've been editing Cape Verde and noticed this too. I made some new divisions for a league pyramid, but those competitions don't get updated records. The first division is a modification of the existing national championships, so those records are updating fine even though I completely changed the format. The main domestic cup is also updating fine, since that's an existing competition.

Sometimes it has to do with history . With existing leagues the history is there so modern records work . With custom leagues there is no history so the game has nothing to go on . I found the solution was to create a history of 1 year for that league . So put in a fictional winner, runner up and third if its a league and a play off winner if it's in your cup etc along with the year if competition.  The date doesn't matter but put in if season crosses over or not.  Basically the game needs something to overwrite.

@alian62Thanks for the tip! That makes complete sense based off what I've seen, so I'll try that out next time.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to say that alian62's methods definitely worked for me. As long as I added just 1 previous winner to the history of a totally new custom competition, that competition would have its history updated normally.

This problem has been plaguing me for nearly 6 months, thank you @alian62 for solving something that's been driving me largely insane.
