Hi there,
It seems that HTML::FormFu::Element::_Group::options() doesn't
round-trip if empty_first is being used.
Ie. this code results in the first option being doubled:
my $my_field = $form->get_element({name => "my_field"});
$my_field->options($my_field->options);
My use case is that I have defined a new element type SelectFromTable
which inherits from Select and gets used something like this to
auto-populate the options from a database table:
- type: SelectFromTable
name: org_type_id
label: Organisation Type
empty_first: 1
empty_first_label: Select an Organisation Type
model_name: DB::OrgType
cond:
active: t
attrs:
order_by: name
constraints:
- Required
Within my Catalyst controller though, in one particular instance I
want to add an extra selection possibility, something like this:
my $my_field = $form->get_element({name => "my_field"});
my @options = @{$my_field->options};
$my_field->options([
@options,
[ "Extra", "Option" ],
]);
I'm probably going to define a new element type so this will end up
being irrelevant for me, but it seemed like a bug worth reporting
anyway.
In the meantime, the workaround is easy:
shift @options if $options[0]->{value} eq "";
Regards,
