Multiselect issue

[c-gross]

Hi, using selects is working fine but when I use select with the multiple method, it's saving the values but it's not showing the selected values when I go to the edit page again.

The db field is json and I can see the json string in the db field.

Select::make('product.tags')
                ->title(__('Tags'))
                ->multiple()
                ->options([
                    1  => 'Tag 1',
                    2  => 'Tag 2',
                ]),

there is a tiny bug I would say, which is that the multiple selects values which I also stored as a json array into the database are stored as strings. This resulted the in_array function within the blade to fail. What I did was creating a custom select which only uses my custom view with the bug fix that casts the key to be a string.

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Orchid\Fields;

use Orchid\Screen\Fields\Select;

/**
 * Class Custom Select.
 **/
class CustomSelect extends Select
{
    /**
     * @var string
     */
    protected $view = 'fields.custom.select';

}

note the string type cast

@component($typeForm, get_defined_vars())
    <div data-controller="select">
        <select {{ $attributes }}>
            @foreach($options as $key => $option)
                <option value="{{$key}}"
                        @isset($value)
                        @if (is_array($value) && in_array((string) $key, $value, true)) selected
                        @elseif (isset($value[$key]) && $value[$key] == $option) selected
                        @elseif ($key === $value) selected
                    @endif
                    @endisset
                >{{$option}}</option>
            @endforeach
        </select>
    </div>
@endcomponent

Had a week of but was finally able to test it and it works fine.
Thank you.

Maybe you should do an PR with that fix?

I've thought about it, although it helps us resolve the issue I feel like the solution should be done in the core. Sadly I'm not sure where.

[c-gross]

Yes in vendor/orchid/platform/resources/views/fields/select.blade.php
Guess it's easier to modify on Github and send as change request (https://github.com/orchidsoftware/platform/edit/master/resources/views/fields/select.blade.php)

Yea no I mean within the core functions and not within a blade as some choose a text column where as we casted arrays into json
