Default select not being selected

I want to select fields of a select by default I do this:

Select::make('status')
    ->options([
        'draft' => 'Draft',
        'reviewing' => 'Reviewing',
        'published' => 'Published',
    ])
    ->default('draft')
    ->multiple()

Select::make('status')
    ->options([
        'draft' => 'Draft',
        'reviewing' => 'Reviewing',
        'published' => 'Published',
    ])
    ->default('draft')
    ->multiple()

And i get this:

When i expected to get by default selected:

toeknee•10mo ago

you allow multiple so pass it as an array: ->default(['draft']) Also, it will only work on creation not edit

ericmp #2•10mo ago

yeah, on creating im doing it let me try as array as array doesnt work neither

Is this a custom component?

So you are not using a Custom Livewire component? What is this on? A Resource?

ericmp #2•10mo ago

oh sorry, yeah im not using admin panel, is the form package

toeknee•10mo ago

Soo it is custom on the mount function make sure to include: $this->form->fill(); for creation

ericmp #2•10mo ago

yeah im doing the fill when mounting:

$this->socialMedia = new SocialMedia();

$this->form->fill(collect($this->socialMedia->toArray())->merge([
    'type' => SocialMediaType::Calendar->value,
])->toArray());

$this->socialMedia = new SocialMedia();

$this->form->fill(collect($this->socialMedia->toArray())->merge([
    'type' => SocialMediaType::Calendar->value,
])->toArray());

i tried to add status too:

$this->form->fill(collect($this->socialMedia->toArray())->merge([
    'type' => SocialMediaType::Calendar->value,
    'status' => null,
])->toArray());

$this->form->fill(collect($this->socialMedia->toArray())->merge([
    'type' => SocialMediaType::Calendar->value,
    'status' => null,
])->toArray());

Right so that's likely your issue. You are removing it by providing an empty array

ericmp #2•10mo ago

but same result

toeknee•10mo ago

$this->form->fill(collect($this->socialMedia->toArray())->merge([
    'type' => SocialMediaType::Calendar->value,
    'status' => ['draft'],
])->toArray());

$this->form->fill(collect($this->socialMedia->toArray())->merge([
    'type' => SocialMediaType::Calendar->value,
    'status' => ['draft'],
])->toArray());

yeah it works now, okay i understand, thanks! but lets say another select changes, and when it changes i want to fill the status. how would be achieved? by setting it reactive and setting its value when changes?
