Missing inputOptions in \yii\bootstrap4\ActiveField::staticControl

    public function staticControl($options = [])
    {
       +   $options = array_merge($this->inputOptions, $options);
        $this->adjustLabelFor($options);
        $this->parts['{input}'] = Html::activeStaticControl($this->model, $this->attribute, $options);

The ActiveField::staticControl method lost values of ActiveField::inputOptions.

This cause problem, for example we have an ActiveField:

$field = $form->field($model, $attribute, [
    'inputOptions' => ['class' => 'my-class']
]);

But when rendering it lost inputOptions:

echo $field->staticControl();

All other similar methods of \yii\widget\ActiveField has that behavior:

    public function input($type, $options = [])
    {
        $options = array_merge($this->inputOptions, $options);

    public function textInput($options = [])
    {
        $options = array_merge($this->inputOptions, $options);

    public function hiddenInput($options = [])
    {
        $options = array_merge($this->inputOptions, $options);

    public function passwordInput($options = [])
    {
        $options = array_merge($this->inputOptions, $options);

    public function fileInput($options = [])
    {
        if ($this->inputOptions !== ['class' => 'form-control']) {
            $options = array_merge($this->inputOptions, $options);

    public function textarea($options = [])
    {
        $options = array_merge($this->inputOptions, $options);

and so on ... So, staticControl() must not lost values, configured in inputOptions too. It's a bug.

I don't think it makes sense to copy the general "input options" to static control too. It has other classes and properties: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/components/forms/#readonly-plain-text

For what other purposes and scenarios is this field intended and can be used? ActiveField renderer only by one of methods - textField or staticField or anothe. ActiveField instance not using many times with different input rendering. So, all it data intended to be used just for one purpose - rendering field. I'm usng ActiveField in my library and all workng fine except the staticControl, which, unlike other methods, loses and does not take into account the parameters. This is an obvious bug.

Other properties (like readonly="true") must be added to options by staticControl, as other method does.

No the static control is not like other fields. It's not just the readonly property, it has other classes and just exists in bootstrap library because it just exists in bootstrap framework. It makes no sense to copy all the options from default inputs and have to unset them in the staticControl method again...
