I have several dropdown menu columns in my form and I would like to clone the selected input.

Is that possible?

I would like to have this after I have cloned the results:

My model.php file:

                $model = new Sampleinformation();
                $model->load($sampleData);
                $model->save();

                return $this->redirect(['index', 'id' => $model->sample_id]);
            }
            
            return $this->render('create', [
                'model' => $model,
            ]);
        }}

My form.php file:

<?php

use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\helpers\ArrayHelper;
use app\models\CollectionSiteInformation;
use kartik\date\DatePicker;
use kartik\select2\Select2;

use kartik\form\ActiveField;
use unclead\multipleinput\MultipleInput;


/* @var $this yii\web\View */
/* @var $model app\models\Sampleinformation */
/* @var $form yii\widgets\ActiveForm */

?>


<div class="sampleinformation-form">

    <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(); ?>
 
    <p>
    Please note that all fields marked with an asterisk (<font color="red">*</font>) are required.
    </p>
 
    <?= $form->field($model,'samples')->widget(MultipleInput::class,[
        'max' => 32,
        'cloneButton' => true,
        'allowEmptyList'=> false,
        'columns' => [

            [
            'name'  => 'collection_site',
            'type' => Select2::class,
            'options' => [
                'initValueText' => ArrayHelper::map(CollectionSiteInformation::find()->all(),'id','collection_site'),],
            'title' => 'Collection site <font color="red">*</font>',
            ],
            [
            'name'  => 'crpc',
            'type'  => Select2::classname(),
            'title' => 'CRPC <font color="red">*</font>',
            'options' => [
                'data' => [1 => 'Yes', 2 => 'No', 3 => 'N/A', 4 => 'Not yet clarified'],
            ]],
            [
            'name'  => 'priority',
            'type'  => Select2::classname(),
            'title' => 'Priority <font color="red">*</font>',
            'options' => [
                //'pluginOptions' => ['placeholder' => 'Please select...'],
                'data' => [1 => 'Priority', 2 => 'High', 3 => 'Low', 4 => 'No action at present', 5 => 'Not yet determined'],
            ]],
        ]
        ])
        ->label(false);
    ?>
    
    <div class="form-group">
        <?= Html::submitButton('Save', ['class' => 'btn btn-success']) ?>
    </div>

    <?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>

</div>

Is there also an option to use a placeholder like "Please select..." and not the first item of the dropdown list as the "default value".

I really appreciate any idea how I could solve the issue posted above.

Thanks so much :)

Have the same issue, did you solve it @CanadaDream ?

[CanadaDream]

Yes, I could solve the issue @jrguevara.

I changed the code in form.php from this:

<?= $form->field($model,'samples')->widget(MultipleInput::class,[
        'max' => 32,
        'cloneButton' => true,
        'allowEmptyList'=> false,
        'columns' => [

            [
            'name'  => 'collection_site',
            'type' => Select2::class,
            'options' => [
                'initValueText' => ArrayHelper::map(CollectionSiteInformation::find()->all(),'id','collection_site'),],
            'title' => 'Collection site <font color="red">*</font>',
            ],
        ]
    ])
    ->label(false);
?>

to that:

    <?= $form->field($model,'samples')->widget(MultipleInput::class,[
        'max' => 16,
        'cloneButton' => true,
        'allowEmptyList'=> false,
        'columns' => [

                [
                    'name'  => 'patient',
                    'type' => 'dropDownList',
                    'title' => 'Patient <font color="red">*</font>',
                    'items' => ArrayHelper::map(PatientInformation::find()->all(),'id','patient_id'),
                    'options' => [
                        'prompt'=>'Please select...'
                    ],
                ],
            ]
        ])
        ->label(false);
    ?>

Now it works perfectly.

However, I am now facing another issue. The error messages are not displayed if the validation rule fails. Do you have the same issue? If so, I am more than happy if you could help me solving this problem.

Thanks

In regards to this issue, I still would like to know if there is any way to make a row copy with Select2 input? It works perfectly with a dropDownList, but not with Select2 or DepDrops::TYPE_SELECT2.
