How is supposed to work with a select field?

[Deca]

What I did:

Trying to add a select field defining also the values, this is the code used

{"name": "value","label": "point type","type": "select_from_array","options": {"fixed":"Fixed","adaptive":"Adaptive"},"allows_null": false,"default": [],"allows_multiple": false}

What happened:

When I try to load the edit page of that specific setting I get this error Trying to access array offset on value of type null

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version:

Backpack 4.1.71 Laravel 8.83.27 php 8.2.3

Hello @Deca

You can follow instructions on our docs or can check our demo too.

CRUD::field([ 
    'name'              => 'value',
    'label'             => 'point type',
    'type'              => 'select_from_array',
    'options'           => ['fixed' => 'Fixed', 'adaptive' => 'Adaptive'],
    'allows_null'       => false,
    'allows_multiple'   => false,
]);

Cheers.

Thanks @jcastroa87 I missed that demo example in the doc, that clarifies a lot of doubts about field types configuration!
