Summary of Changes
Hello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request refines the content management forms by changing how associated data, such as countries and languages, are loaded. The system now proactively fetches all necessary data in the background upon form initialization, enhancing the user experience by providing a complete set of options immediately, and simplifying the underlying BLoC and UI components by removing incremental loading mechanisms.
Highlights
- Data Loading Strategy: Transitioned from a lazy, paginated data loading approach to an eager, background fetching strategy for countries and languages within content management forms. This means all relevant data is now loaded upfront when the form initializes, rather than requiring explicit 'load more' actions.
- UI Simplification: Removed 'Load More' dropdown menu items from the Create and Edit Headline/Source pages, as the eager loading strategy eliminates the need for manual pagination in the UI.
- BLoC Logic Streamlining: Simplified the BLoC (Business Logic Component) implementations for Create/Edit Headline and Source by removing dedicated 'Load More' events and their corresponding handlers. The background fetching logic is now integrated into the initial data request handlers.
- Widget Removal: Removed the
SearchableDropdownFormFieldwidget and its related export, as its functionality for handling paginated dropdowns is no longer required with the new eager loading approach.

Code Review
This pull request refactors the data loading for dropdowns in the content management forms. It removes the 'load more' functionality and the custom SearchableDropdownFormField, and instead pre-fetches all paginated data (like countries and languages) in the background after the initial page load. This simplifies the UI by removing the need for manual pagination by the user.
My review focuses on improving the robustness of this new background fetching mechanism. The current implementation can cause the entire form to enter a failure state if any of the background pagination requests fail, which could be a poor user experience. I've suggested wrapping the fetching loops in try-catch blocks in all four affected BLoCs to handle these errors more gracefully.
