XF 2.1 UINT can't be 0

[Hoffi]

I encountered a strange issue this weekend.

Via Listener I added a new row in the Post table.

 $structure->columns['my_counter'] = ['type' => Entity::UINT, 'default' => 0 ];

With some updater all went fine, until i reduced the counter until it was 0.

I wans't able to set this field to 0.

XenForo delivered the error:

Please enter a number that is at least 0

After changing the field to INT, all works fine.

We have many UINT fields in XF which are perfectly functional and do not give any errors when set to 0.

I can only assume at this point that there was something else wrong with your code so will move to dev discussions for now.

Here is the code. This class is added via Classextension to the post Entity.

    public function updateMyCounter(int $amount)
    {
        if (!$amount)
            $amount = 1;

        $this->my_counter = max(0, $this->my_counter += $amount);
        $this->save();
    }

If I misundertood something, please let me know.

But only after I changed the structure in the Listener.php for the structure, this works.

 $structure->columns['my_counter'] = ['type' => Entity::INT, 'default' => 0 ];
