Meteor quick form method not fired - meteor

Question

I have a meteor form in which i don't want the user to be able to modify the id, so i omit the field. however i add it back to be able to proceed the update. when i submit the form, it gets stuck and the server is never called..
any help appreciated, thanks!
donators.html:
<template name="dInfo">
{{> dMove}}
{{#if getDoc}}
<label for="num">Numéro</label>
<input type="text" id="num" class="form-control" placeholder="ID" value="{{getDoc._id}}" readonly>
{{> quickForm schema=nwsc omitFields="_id" id="dUpt" doc=getDoc type="method" meteormethod="sayHi" buttonContent="Soumettre" buttonClasses="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block"}}
<button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-warning btn-block btn-del">Supprimer</button>
{{/if}}
</template>
client side:
AutoForm.hooks({
dUpt: {
before: {
method: function(doc) {
doc._id = donators.find().fetch()[cursor.get()]._id;
}
},
onError: function(i, e) {
console.log(i);
console.log(e);
}
}
});
server side:
Meteor.methods({
sayHi: function(ins) {console.log(ins);},
updateDonator: function(ins) {
if(Meteor.userId() === null)
return;
if(ins._id === undefined)
return;
if(check(ins, dSchema) === false)
return;
dSchema.clean(ins);
ins.closed = false;
donators.update({_id: ins._id}, {$set: ins});
logs.insert({user: Meteor.userId(), email: Meteor.user().username, table: 'Donators', action:'Update', item: ins._id, date: new Date()});
}
});
Nothing is ever logged by sayHi, which is never called I suppose, and no error is ever fired.
Thanks!

According to the AutoForm documentation about callback hooks, in the before event you can modify the doc and return it by either:
// Then return it or pass it to this.result()
return doc; (synchronous)
return false; (synchronous, cancel)
this.result(doc); (asynchronous)
this.result(false); (asynchronous, cancel)
Your code does not return the modified doc. Add return doc; to the before -> method:
AutoForm.hooks({
dUpt: {
before: {
method: function(doc) {
doc._id = donators.find().fetch()[cursor.get()]._id;
return doc; // Add this line
}
},
onError: function(i, e) {
console.log(i);
console.log(e);
}
}
});
If AutoForm does not get a doc object back it will cancel the operation.
