Hi Howdy_McGee, thanks a lot for your reply.
At some point I figured it out that the problem was the missing id for new post.
So I did the following:
(probably not the best idea, but…)

   (...)
   if (isset($_POST['post_ID'])) { 
        //just like it was at first
        $post_id = intval($_POST['post_ID']);

    } elseif (isset($_POST['post_id'])) { 
        //just like it was at first
        $post_id = intval($_POST['post_id']);

    } elseif (isset($_REQUEST['item_id'])) {
        // BECAUSE MY FORM COULD BE EDITING INSTEAD OF INCLUDING
        $post_id = intval($_REQUEST['item_id']);

    } else { 
        // I INVENTED AN ID FOR THIS NEW POST
        $post_id = intval('9999999999999999');
    }

    //And since I couldnt check the post-type for a new post, 
    //I specified the post-type here (cause in my case this function only applies to this form)
    $post_type = 'pt_publicacoes_doi';

    $field_name = $field['name'];

(...)
