Please refer to the following link and see what you missed.

You can also run degubber to verify what happens when LibraryTransaction validated

Or for a quick check just add
print(“Validate”)
frappe.msgprint(“Validate”)

To see if validate is being triggered

yes It is triggered the validate method also executed the insert method but new entry was not made in Article Doctype

Try restarting the bench and clear cache.

I have restarted as well as cleared the cache but no luck.:face_with_thermometer:

try to use doc.insert(ignore_permissions=True)

I just figured out what I was missing.
I had to commit using frappe.db.commit() before calling insert method.
!!SOLVED!!

Can you or anyone explain why have to use frappe.db.commit()?
Because I only use doc.insert(ignore_permissions=True) and it works fine.

Or is it may be because I insert the doc from webform (code in doctype_name.py)?
