[Bug]: Posts-dropdown / tags-dropdown UI cannot be seen or edited in Publii app

[kryptot7]

Operating system

Windows 11 x64

Publii version

Version: 0.45.2 (build 16609)

Post editor

None

Bug description

I added a new config variable of type "posts-dropdown" to my theme by overriding config.json. However, while the variable shows up in the Publii app, it has no dropdown:

This bug happened when I added the variable to the postConfig, and also to the tagConfig. This variable of type "number" renders just fine:

This issue also seems to apply to "tags-dropdown":

All of the above seems to apply to the Theme tab's global settings area as well...

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Publii. Ensure your blog has posts and tags.
2. Override your theme. I used the "Taste" theme.
3. Add a variable to the postConfig or tagConfig of type "post-dropdown" or "tags-dropdown".
4. Generate preview files.
5. Close and re-open the Publii app.
6. Try to edit the values for one of the posts or the global settings...but unfortunately, you cannot, because there is no dropdown.

Relevant log output

The logs did not contain any errors.

I encountered the exact same issue with version 0.46.1 (build 16918) on a GNU/Linux system.

Hi,

I will check what happens and I will try to fix it in v.0.46.2 if possible

I have checked and under post config the only available fields are:

• separator
• select
• number
• textarea
• colorpicker
• image

Adding posts/tags/author dropdown here is more complicated (it also requires support on theme settings). I will consider it for v.0.47 as it is a bigger task to implement
