How to add 'Select Role(s)' (dropdown) on user create/edit crud view (and get it to save)?

[gvanto]

Not a bug, but think it would be a great addition to README as this would be a very common use case (also I can't see how to do this).

I've tried the following (it adds the multiple select fine - is it possible to limit this to one select only? I only want user to have 1 role) but get an error when saving ...

protected function setupCreateOperation()
    {
        CRUD::field('name')->validationRules('required|min:4');
        CRUD::field('email')->validationRules('required|email|unique:users,email');
        CRUD::field('password')->validationRules('required');

        // https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/6.x/crud-fields#select-1-n-relationship
        CRUD::field([
            'label' => 'Role',
            'type' => 'select_multiple',
            'name' => 'role',
            'model'     => 'Backpack\PermissionManager\app\Models\Role',
            'entity' => 'roles',
            'pivot' => true,
        ]);
    }

Is there additional code required to get the role(id) to save?

Ah nevermind, I wasn't extending the PM controller, this fixes it. Nice work guys!

class UserCrudController extends \Backpack\PermissionManager\app\Http\Controllers\UserCrudController
