Test case for issue #5521

I don’t think a fix for this is possible but a workaround will fix your issue. Please see my previous comment

Thanks, I saw your comment but I still have to dig into the code. Why not possible?

When subclassing calling super it is required to be the first line in a constructor.

Any attributes it receive will be set immediately, however calling this.set right after override that value.

Unless you can set your initial value before calling super we have have a fix but we can’t call anything before super.

@dplewis I think the problem may start in ParseObject.fromJSON(). From this line on, only certain properties of otherAttributes are applied to the retrieved object: createdAt, updatedAt, etc. But not the custom properties (name in this case).

Then, deeper in the call stack, I see in ObjectStateMutations.commitServerChanges() that only object properties are being added to the objectCache. Any particular reason?

My first hypothesis would be to remove line 149 from ObjectStateMutations.js. Am I on the right track?
