Attach Option Form...?
According to the docs (https://filamentphp.com/docs/2.x/forms/fields#creating-new-records), I can use
createOptionForm() for a BelongsTo relationship.
Is it possible to do something like attachOptionForm() for a BelongsToMany relationship, allowing the user to set values for the many-to-many intermediate/pivot table...?
If so, any docs/links/examples...?
If not, any advice/suggestions on how to allow a user to attach many-to-many relationships (with pivot attributes) when creating/editing...?10 Replies

Super curious to know if anyone has a better solution in terms of UI/UX
#awcodes-table-repeater maybe.
Cool! I like how compact it is.
Thx. I may take a look. Is this basically the repeater with a nicer UI/UX...?
yea, it's just an extension of the Repeater with a different layout
Hey....are you aware of a way to ignore validation on an empty repeater item...?
I have some of the repeater fields set as required, but the user is not required to add items. So, do you know how I can ignore "empty" or unfilled items...?
Not quite following what you’re asking.
->defaultItems(0) ?
Sorry. OK. So, I have the repeater in my form. I have it show one "item", which it does by default. But, if the user doesn't enter any data for the default item, then it will fail certain validation.
From a UX standpoint, it feels good to have an empty, ready-to-go item to fill out, but it also feels bad to invalidate an empty one if zero items are required.
An example might be special events for some resource. By default, the repeater would show one empty special event item. It might require a date and a description.
If the user submits the form without entering any special event data, then the form will say that the date/description are required and must be filled out.
By using
->defaultItems(0), as @Dan Harrin has suggested, then this problem is avoided, but then the user has to manually click "add an item". (This isn't terrible, by the way, but it's something I'd rather avoid....if possible.)
So, I'm asking if you know of a way to ignore validation for repeater items that haven't been filled out at all....? 🤔
Hope that makes (more) sense.... 🤓Ok. Yea. That kinda goes against the logic of a required field though. You could try a required if or a custom validation rule. But I don’t think there is an easy way to do that out of the box.
