Existing data not showing in the select box.

When I click on a record to edit it, the select boxes do not show the data which should be there. This is my code

return $form
            ->schema([
                Select::make('level_id')
                    ->label('Level')
                    ->options(fn () => Level::all()->pluck('name', 'id'))  // Fetch levels dynamically
                    ->required()
                    ->reactive()  // React to changes in Level
                    ->afterStateUpdated(fn (callable $set) => $set('grade_id', null)),  // Reset grade when level changes

                Select::make('grade_id')
                    ->label('Grade')
                    ->options(function (callable $get) {
                        $levelId = $get('level_id');  // Get the selected level_id
                        if ($levelId) {
                            return Grade::where('level_id', $levelId)->pluck('name', 'id');  // Fetch grades based on selected level
                        }
                        return [];
                    })
                    ->required()
                    ->reactive()  // React to changes in Grade
                    ->afterStateUpdated(fn (callable $set) => $set('section_id', null)),  // Reset section when grade changes

                Select::make('section_id')
                    ->label('Section')
                    ->options(function (callable $get) {
                        $gradeId = $get('grade_id');  // Get the selected grade_id
                        if ($gradeId) {
                            return Section::where('grade_id', $gradeId)->pluck('name', 'id');  // Fetch sections based on selected grade
                        }
                        return [];
                    })
                    ->required(),
            ]);

return $form
            ->schema([

What does your edit firing code look like ?

MZX•2mo ago

What do you mean? This is just when you click on a record. The select fields should show the existing value but instead they're not set.

Matthew•2mo ago

Yes, but you'll have had to include something to make that click an action. In your resource, what does your

actions

actions

chained method contain in the

table

table

function?

MZX•2mo ago

You mean this?

                Tables\Actions\EditAction::make(),

What select? Are you using the panel builder or only the form builder?

MZX•2mo ago

panel builder Its inside the Resource Levels have Grades which have Sections Student belongs to a Section I made it work by defining a relationship between Student and Grade, and Student and Level but its redundant because a student already belongs to a section, and the section belongs to grade which belongs to level panel builder

LeandroFerreira•2mo ago

if you have a relationship, you should check this section you can see an example of dependent selects here

I did check that, but i have a third degree dependency hope you understand like first i want to choose the level, which will show the relavant grades, which will then show the relavant sections Level and Grade are not related to the Student directly, but through Section

LeandroFerreira•2mo ago

are you using Filament v2? Not related to the issue, but double-check your code if you are using Filament v3. reactive() and callable are used in v2. Ensure your select query returns the expected results..

Matthew•2mo ago

So do level_id, grade_id & section_id sit as columns in the Student model?

MZX•2mo ago

V3 Currently yes, to make it work properly. Else ideally I'd like just the section_id in the student model I think for a filament form to be able to fetch a value, it needs to be a column in the table, and since grade and level aren't in the table but referenced through section, it is not able to fetch the value which explains why it works when i add the grade and level column to student makes it redundant in a way but can't see any other way

Matthew•2mo ago

No. The way you've coded it, it needs to be in the table. You need to to learn how Filament accesses relationships: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/advanced#saving-data-to-relationships
