Editable select (editable_select) bug or there is no option for allow null ?

[AdamovicBoban]

I'm trying to set up an editable select in listOperation to accept null, but it's not working. I've tried allow_null, default, and hint, but none of these are working. Is this a bug, or is there no option for allowing null?

    CRUD::addColumn([
            'name'    => 'driver_id',
            'label'   => 'Driver',
            'type'    => 'editable_select',
      //      'placeholder' => "Select user",
      //      'default' => null,
      //      'allow_null' => true,
            'options' => (function ($entry) {
                return \App\Models\User::drivers()->pluck('first_name', 'id')->toArray();
        }),
            'underlined'       => true,
            'save_on_focusout' => true,
            'save_on_change'   => true,
            'on_error' => [
                'text_color'          => '#df4759',
                'text_color_duration' => 0,
                'text_value_undo'     => false,
            ],
            'on_success' => [
                'text_color'          => '#42ba96',
                'text_color_duration' => 3000,
            ],
            'auto_update_row' => true,
        ]);

Hey, @AdamovicBoban this is on my plate.

I just haven't got the time to get to it yet. Sorry 😞

During this week I will get back here and try to figure out what's happening.

Thanks for the report, and sorry for the delay.

Cheers

Hey @pxpm Which week? or year? 😏

Hey @AdamovicBoban sorry again, thanks for the ping.

There is no built in functionality for a placeholder/null option, but you can just add it yourself as an option:

        'options' => (function ($entry) {
                return array_merge(['' => 'Select an option'],\App\Models\User::drivers()->pluck('first_name', 'id')->toArray());
        }),

Hope it helps. 🙏
