AutocompleteInput in ReferenceArrayInput with dynamic choices shows empty field on selection about react-admin HOT 5 CLOSED

That's interesting... I guess I was confused by the fact it was almost working out of the box with ReferenceArrayInput too. They almost provide the same context...
Anyway it works fine with ReferenceInput, thanks !

Thank you for this report and for the investigation work.

Can you please provide a reproduction sandbox (forked from https://codesandbox.io/s/github/marmelab/react-admin/tree/master/examples/simple or https://stackblitz.com/github/marmelab/react-admin/tree/master/examples/simple ) so that we can investigate the issue ?

Also, can you please confirm you are using an AutocompleteArrayInput as child of ReferenceArrayInput and not a simple AutocompleteInput?

I'm wondering because of this sentence in your report:

Specifically, AutocompleteInput returns a string value (unlike AutoCompleteArrayInput), while useReferenceArrayInput expects an array.

Thanks @slax57. No I am using AutocompleteInput for a single entry, not the Array variant. It's used in a filters component. It works fine except when the choices are not present in the list.
I will try to make a simple repro sandobx

from react-admin.

Here is the sandbox

https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/funny-firefly-p64lgt?file=%2Fsrc%2FdataProvider.tsx%3A42%2C43

I cannot repro 100% (could be a cache problem) but it is still possible to demonstrate the issue. In our cases, the input is empty even before reloading.

1/ Working example: Add Tags filter. Click the input wait for the list to populate, select "Sport" . Only Sport posts are shown. Reload the page (the whole sandbox), the Sport filter is still working

2/ Broken example: Add Tags filter, Click the input, type "mu", wait for the list to populate, select "Music". Only Music posts are shown. Reload the page (the whole sandbox). The Music filter is still working but the Tags input is empty

Expected:

Thanks for the sandbox.

If you are using ReferenceArrayInput the child should be an AutocompleteArrayInput. If you are expecting a single entry, you should be using a ReferenceInput with an AutocompleteInput child.

Am I missing something?
