Loading doc=this values when using the 'optionsMethod'

[DanceParty]

I have a couple fields using universe-select and when loading an update form, the values using the options values load properly, but when using the optionsMethod, they are blank values, which would force the user to re-enter values that should already be present.

You mean placeholder? It is option uniPlaceholder

would that work? Just passing through the current value for that collection item into that parameter?

If so, sorry for opening an issue. Thanks!

I do not know if I understand your problem, first please try this option

Not sure this solved the problem.

Okay... I have a field People and that collection contains upwards of 3000 items in it. Because of this, I am using the optionsMethod and only passing through a few at a time (dependent on another field).

However, when I create an update form, all of my fields, except People are pre-populated (People should be populated with John Doe, but is instead blank) with the existing value (People is the only item using optionsMethod).

I just tried returning the value and label as a placeholder, thinking that would be a kind of work around

[
{ label: "john doe", value: "john doe" }
]

but that didnt work and just returns a placeholder [Object, object]

[MichalW]

placeholder need only label - just string

When they go to submit the update form, will it store the same value as before in that case?

For Example:

In the People insert form, I am using a label "First Name, Last Name", but the value is a Number ID

so if I pass only a String, I am curious as to how I can maintain the value (Number ID?)

To continue this, it seems as though the value is present but is hidden.

When the page loads, it is blank,

Even, when typing a new name, the selection remains blank,

However, when I select this new name, the original name plus the new name appear in the selection (I do not have multiple = true btw).

Any ideas?

Please take a look at demo: http://universe-autoform-select.stg.vazco.eu/

There is placeholder on fields with remote options:

Placeholder in these uses seems to be a global for the entire autoform. I am looking for it to show the currently in-use value for a specific afQuickField while using optionsMethod

Here is the form:

Here is what the form should be showing:

and here is the code

{{#autoForm collection="Equipment" doc=getEquipment id=updateEquipment type="update"}}

     {{> afQuickField name="Company" type="universe-select" options=companyOptions}}

     {{> afQuickField name="Employee" type="universe-select" optionsMethod="employeeEquipmentOptions" optionsMethodParams=employeeHelper}}

     {{> afQuickField name="Office" type="universe-select" options=officeOptions}}

{{/autoForm}}

If you notice, the only field not returning the value that is currently in use is the one using optionsMethod instead of options.

So when I go to update the form, I am forced to re-enter values that should be appearing in the first place.
