KeyValue is missing the associative part on edit

I'm using a KeyValue component inside a RelationManager form.

Forms\Components\KeyValue::make('error')
   ->json()
   ->disableAddingRows()
   ->disableDeletingRows()
   ->disableEditingKeys()
   ->columnSpan('full')

Forms\Components\KeyValue::make('error')
   ->json()
   ->disableAddingRows()
   ->disableDeletingRows()
   ->disableEditingKeys()
   ->columnSpan('full')

My error field contains a json object and is set on a pivot model. the relationship

public function documents(): BelongsToMany
{
  return $this->belongsToMany(Document::class)->using(DocumentKyc::class)
              ->withPivot(columns: ['id', 'result', 'error', 'done_at']);
}

public function documents(): BelongsToMany
{
  return $this->belongsToMany(Document::class)->using(DocumentKyc::class)
              ->withPivot(columns: ['id', 'result', 'error', 'done_at']);
}

On my intermediate model DocumentKyc I cast the column error as an array:

protected $casts = [
  'error' => 'array'
];

protected $casts = [
  'error' => 'array'
];

When I go to edit my relation the KeyValue field look like the attachment I gave. Note : I've found a solution by mutating my data before fill :

Tables\Actions\EditAction::make()->mutateRecordDataUsing(function ($data) {
    $data['error'] = json_decode($data['error'], true);
    return $data;
}),

Tables\Actions\EditAction::make()->mutateRecordDataUsing(function ($data) {
    $data['error'] = json_decode($data['error'], true);
    return $data;
}),

But shouldn't it recognize the associative array by default ? Or maybe I'm missing something obvious here... Anyway, thanks in advance

that screenshot suggests that the keyvalue is recieving a json string, not an array the problem is that you probably need ->withCasts([‘error’ => ‘array’]) on your relationship?

Oh, I didn't know I had to specify the cast on the relationship as well, since I added the $cast on the pivot model itself (I'm gonna try right away)

i think its a laravel quirk rather than something on our end

Yeah indeed, it works ! As always, thanks a lot 🙂
