    Try casting the fields to (int) before saving them.

    $process->set('request',(int) $request->get('id'));
$process->set('customer', (int) $request->get('customer'));

      @BobRay, thanks for the hint. I tried this: 
      if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    // Form has been submitted 
    $process = $modx->newObject('quoteProcess');
    //$process->fromArray($process_fields);
    $process->set('request',(int) $request->get('id'));
    $process->set('customer', (int) $request->get('customer'));
    if ($process->save()) {
...
}

      Still getting 1 in those two fields when the form is processed. I'm lost.

        Are you still doing the addOne() on those two fields? It should be unnecessary and could be interfering with the procedure.

        The next step would be to see if the $request fields are set properly with something like this:

        $output = '<p>ID: ' . $request->get('id') . '</p>';
$output .= '<p>CUSTOMER: ' . $request->get('customer') . '</p>';
die($output);


        BTW, you haven't overridden the set() method in your class have you?

          Hey BobRay, I think i know what the problem is. The submission ID retrieved via $_GET() is parsed as a string, but the customer and request fields are integer. When I manually entered the submission ID in the snippet, the values where saved properly. So now I need to convert the submissionID into an integer before saving. I hope this fixes it.

          I'll report back.

            @Bruno17, @BobRay thanks again for all your help. i've found a workaround!

            I'm using hidden fields in the form to pass the requestid and customerid values to the snippet. 
              <input type="hidden" name="customerid" value="[[+customer]]"> 
  <input type="hidden" name="requestid" value="[[+id]]">

            Then in the snippet:
            $process_fields = array(
    'request' => $_POST['requestid'],
    'customer' => $_POST['customerid'],
   ...
);

            This does it for me. $process->save() is saving the right values into those fields. I wish I knew why I couldn't get this done with $request->get('id') and $request->get('customer'), but I can live with the fix.

              be aware, that the user could manipulate the hidden-fields!

                You're right. Luckily this form will be used internally by the front desk, behind a login page.
