Walkthrough

The code was updated to handle checkbox fields with sub-keys when retrieving selected values from requests. It now scans for keys matching the field ID pattern for checkboxes. Additionally, a filter was added to disable the use of posted values for field choices for specific form and field IDs.

Changes

File Change Summary
gp-populate-anything/gppa-preserve-selections.php Enhanced checkbox value retrieval logic; added filter to disable posted values for specific fields.

30-30: Ensure filter consistency

The new filter uses the same form ID (123) and field ID (4) as the main filter above. Verify these IDs are updated consistently when customizing the snippet.

Consider adding a comment to clarify the purpose of this filter:

// Update "123" to your form ID and "4" to your field ID.
+// Disable posted values to prevent conflicts with custom selection logic above
add_filter( 'gppa_field_choices_posted_value_123_4', '__return_false' );

8-9: LGTM: Clean field value retrieval

The field value retrieval logic is straightforward and follows standard practices.


21-21:

❌ Incorrect review comment

Verify array structure compatibility

The in_array() check assumes $selected_values is a simple array of values, but the checkbox logic above creates an associative array. This could cause the selection check to fail for checkbox fields.


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Search for similar checkbox handling patterns in the codebase
rg -A 10 -B 5 "checkbox.*selected_values|selected_values.*checkbox" --type php

in_array() works with associative arrays—no change needed
PHP’s in_array() checks array values, not keys, so using it against an associative $selected_values will still correctly detect matching checkbox values.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

$selected_values[ $key ] = $value;

⚠️ Potential issue

Logic issue: Inconsistent array structure for checkbox processing

The checkbox handling logic changes the structure of $selected_values from a simple array to an associative array with keys like "5.1" and their corresponding values. This creates a mismatch with the in_array() check on line 21.

if ( $field->type == 'checkbox' && ! empty( $selected_values ) ) {
-	// look in field_values for values of index like 5.1, 5.2 etc. where 5 is the field id
-	$selected_values = array();
-	foreach ( $field_values as $key => $value ) {
-		if ( strpos( (string) $key, $field->id . '.' ) === 0 ) {
-			$selected_values[ $key ] = $value;
-		}
-	}
+	// look in field_values for values of index like 5.1, 5.2 etc. where 5 is the field id
+	$checkbox_values = array();
+	foreach ( $field_values as $key => $value ) {
+		if ( strpos( (string) $key, $field->id . '.' ) === 0 ) {
+			$checkbox_values[] = $value;
+		}
+	}
+	$selected_values = $checkbox_values;
}

This ensures $selected_values remains a simple array of values, maintaining compatibility with the in_array() check below.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In gp-populate-anything/gppa-preserve-selections.php around lines 10 to 18, the
checkbox handling code changes $selected_values from a simple array to an
associative array with keys like "5.1", causing incompatibility with the
in_array() check later. To fix this, modify the loop to append values to
$selected_values as a simple indexed array instead of using keys, preserving the
original array structure and ensuring in_array() works correctly.
