Anyone every had this happen? ... 

I created a new field.

In my Simple Simon template, I copied another field to preserve working syntax that I know works.

and then edited my new field in my template. Here is the exact code:

echo $cck->get('trf_sample_time')->value;

I have confirmed the data is there. In fact, it gets emailed out and it's there... and yet mysteriously the field's value is missing from my template?!

I tried this code too ... and even the label does not show up (!?)

echo $cck->get('trf_sample_time')->label;

The template contains about 25 fields all working fine plus 5 GroupX fields ... everything works great and yet my new field is missing. ARRRGH moment.

IN php.ini, I have the following:

;set max input
  max_input_vars=3000 

Stumped!! What could cause that??

Thanks
