Dependency does not reset the value in repeatable

[cod3rshotout]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, meanwhile I open a support request here. Essentialy I have this field:

CRUD::addField([
  'name' => 'activities_repeatable',
  'type' => 'repeatable',
  'label' => 'Attività da assegnare',
  'include_all_form_fields' => true,
  'wrapper' => [
    'class' => 'form-group col-md-12'
  ],
  'subfields' => [
    [
      'name' => 'process_id',
      'type' => 'select2',
      'label' => 'Seleziona Processo',
      'model' => 'App\Models\Process',
      'attribute' => 'name',
      'allows_null' => false,
      'include_all_form_fields' => true,
    ],
    [
      'type' => 'select2_json_from_api',
      'label' => 'Seleziona Fase',
      'name' => 'phase_id',
      'data_source' => route('api.admin.phases.index'),

      'delay' => 500,
      'method' => 'GET',
      'placeholder' => 'Seleziona una fase',
      'minimum_input_length' => 0,
      'multiple' => false,
      'include_all_form_fields' => true,

      'attribute' => 'name',
      'attribute_to_store' => ['id'],
      'dependencies' => ['process_id'],
    ]
  ]
]);

I would like to reset the select with "phase_id" name when the select of "process_id" is changed, at the moment this mechanism doesn't work.

Also, I want to know how can I get the value of "process_id" within the api method, at the moment I wrote this code:

  <?php

  namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;

  use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
  use App\Models\Phase;
  use Illuminate\Http\Request;

  class PhaseController extends Controller
  {
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
      $phases = Phase::paginate(10);
      $keys = $request->input('keys');

      $form = backpack_form_input();
      // dd($form, $keys);

      return $phases;
    }
  }

but I'm not able to retrieve the "process_id" value to filter the phases. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Based on the knowledge sources provided, it appears that there are a couple of issues with dependencies and repeatable fields in Backpack that are relevant to your question. Let me address them:

1. Resetting dependent fields in repeatable:
   The issue you're experiencing with the "phase_id" field not resetting when "process_id" changes is a known problem. This was discussed and addressed in GitHub Issue #3218 and GitHub Issue #2865. The problem was that the dependency functionality didn't work properly inside repeatable fields.

A fix for this issue was implemented in Pull Request #3275, which introduced row numbers to repeatable elements to allow the dependant functionality to work inside repeatable fields.

2. Retrieving repeatable field data in API calls:
   Regarding your second issue of not being able to retrieve the "process_id" value within your API method, this is also a known issue that was addressed. In GitHub Issue #3218, it was mentioned that repeatable field data was not being sent in ajax requests.

A fix for this was implemented in Pull Request #3439, which addressed the issue of repeatable field data not being included in ajax requests.

To retrieve the repeatable field data in your API method, you should be able to use the backpack_form_input() function. However, the exact implementation might depend on the version of Backpack you're using.

Given these fixes, if you're still experiencing these issues, it's possible that you might be using an older version of Backpack. I would recommend updating to the latest version of Backpack, which should include these fixes.

If you're already on the latest version and still experiencing issues, you might need to create a custom implementation. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't provide a specific solution for your exact use case. You might need to reach out to the Backpack community or create a new issue on their GitHub repository for further assistance.
