I'm writing a user management using react-admin and try to make adding users to groups easier, i.e. by adding groups from a user's edit page using auto-complete. Starting with an example, I've got some success using the following:
<ReferenceArrayInput
label="Group"
source="groups"
reference="groups"
>
<AutocompleteArrayInput
{...props}
resettable={true}
allowEmpty={true}
optionText="name"
fullWidth
/>
</ReferenceArrayInput>
However, this method uses Chip component to display selected items inline. I would like to use a Datagrid instead. I know from the source code that I cannot override the display part of an auto-complete (yet?), so I thought I could resort to hiding Chips via CSS, but I would still need a way to display a Datagrid with current selection. So I tried this (it's wrapped in FormWithRedirect, hence formProps):
<ReferenceArrayField
{...formProps}
label="Group"
source="groups"
reference="groups"
>
<Datagrid>
<TextField source="name" />
</Datagrid>
</ReferenceArrayField>
<ReferenceArrayInput
{...formProps}
label="Group"
source="groups"
reference="groups"
>
<AutocompleteArrayInput
resettable={true}
allowEmpty={true}
optionText="name"
fullWidth
/>
</ReferenceArrayInput>
This works almost exactly as I want it, a Datagrid is displayed and it shows the right data for the selection, however, it's not updated when selected items on AutocompleteArrayInput change. How ever I tried (been through probably all the hooks and contexts), I could not make it work.
Is this possible? How can I make Datagrid update when selection changes on AutocompleteArrayInput?
