Unable to save plugin CSA's published state to database

Need help Plugins
1

Hi Guys,
Please excuse if this is an elementary question but would really appreciate the help on this as I couldn’t find it on any other posts on the forum.
CC: @vini_brito , @keith
What I’m doing:

  1. Writing a plugin with client side action
  2. It exposes two states location and price
  3. Both the exposed states are being pushed using instace.publishState(“location”, “location”)
  4. I’m able to see the value in the workflow when I’m setting a custom state [csLocation] as well.
  5. However, I’m not being able to assign to a thing in the db
    ex:
  6. Create new thing, thing’s location = Element A’s location
    or
  7. Create new thing, thing’s location = csLocation’s value
    Neither 1 nor 2 are working as both fields in the database are empty for the created thing.
    And I didn’t observe any errors in the debugger or in the logs.
    I could be missing something here, please hlep.

Thanks in advance.

I think you can use a triggerEvent, then use that publishState from that event in the workflow. It works for me.
