On Selects is it possible to make the createOptionForm button clearer

On Selects is it possible to make the createOptionForm button clearer or have it as a standalone button below the select? Some users are missing it as it’s not that obvious.

Maybe do a hint action instead?

What do you mean? 🙂

You can do ->hintAction(). But just realized it a createOptionForm(). But it can still be achieved with a hintAction() Will just require a little more work.

Ok, thank you, I will investigate!

For anyone looking at how to do this with a hintAction

Forms\Components\Select::make('Contact')
    ->label('Primary contact')
    ->relationship('contact', 'name')
    ->hintAction(
        Action::make('Add contact')
            ->icon('heroicon-m-user-plus')
            ->form(fn(Form $form) => ContactResource::form($form))
            ->action(function ($data) {
                // do anything you need with your data here
                $data['company_id'] = auth()->user()->current_company_id;

                $contact = new Contact($data);
                $contact->save();
            }),
    ),

Forms\Components\Select::make('Contact')
    ->label('Primary contact')
    ->relationship('contact', 'name')
    ->hintAction(
        Action::make('Add contact')
            ->icon('heroicon-m-user-plus')
            ->form(fn(Form $form) => ContactResource::form($form))
            ->action(function ($data) {
                // do anything you need with your data here
                $data['company_id'] = auth()->user()->current_company_id;

                $contact = new Contact($data);
                $contact->save();
            }),
    ),

@awcodes thanks, this worked, anywhere I can make a feature request as I think have some customisability over the display of the select create button would be valuable

You can do feature requests on the GitHub repo. Glad it worked for you. 🙂
