This is the size field display.
I have the size field code like this:
CRUD::addField([
'label' => 'Size',
'type' => 'checklist',
'name' => 'size',
'entity' => 'sizes',
'attribute' => 'name',
'model' => 'App\Models\Size',
'pivot' => false,
]);
How do I change it to store the size's name?
You should be able to give an array to the “options” attribute, instead of specifying “entity”, “attribute”, “model”, “pivot”.
The array elements should be [value => label], where the value is what will be stored in the db, the label is what is shown next to the checkbox.
I solved this by creating a pivot table between merch and sizes and then changing the type of the column size.
$this->crud->addColumns( [
[
'label' => 'Sizes',
'type' => "select_multiple",
'entity' => 'sizes', // the method that defines the relationship in your Model
'name' => 'sizes',
'attribute' => "name", // foreign key attribute that is shown to user
'model' => "App\Models\Size",
'pivot' => true,
],
]);
