Videos Custom Field with New Section - Value not persisting
I'm working in Administration > Settings > Advanced Settings. Then I go to Libraries > Controls > VideoBackend > Views. From here I'm editing VideosBackendEdit and creating a new Section, and then a field for that section. This then adds the section and field as expected for when editing a Video, but the value being selected or entered is not being persisted to the database or something else is going on because it won't stick. Is there something I'm missing?
Is there documentation on adding sections and fields to libraries and the items they contain? I would like to do this via the API. All of the documentation I've found is for simple content items.
Here is the LibrariesConfig.contentViewControls.VideosBackend.views.VideosBackendEdit.config file. As you can see, I have a custom field named SalesForceContentId on the bottom and then a custom section named Resource Center with a custom field named EloquaCampaignId, which is the field that is not persisting to the database.
