Unselect MUI Multi select with initial value
I got a problem with MUI Select (multiple) inside a Formik form.
Suppose that I have a task stored in database with taskName
, assignTo
(array of staff).
Now I'm trying to make a form where I can update/change assignTo
values.
So the form got initialValues
with:
const savedTask = {
id: 1,
name: "Task A",
assignTo: [
{
id: 1,
name: "Oliver Hansen",
age: 32
}
]
};
and people list
const personList = [
{
id: 1,
name: "Oliver Hansen",
age: 32
},
{
id: 2,
name: "Van Henry",
age: 25
},
{
id: 3,
name: "Oliver",
age: 27
}
];
The problem is I can't unselect "Oliver Hansen" in the update form. When I click on it, it also adds one more "Oliver Hansen".

Did I implement wrong or that's how formik setFieldValues
behaves?
From the Select API page(value
prop):
...
If the value is an object it must have reference equality with the option in order to be selected. If the value is not an object, the string representation must match with the string representation of the option in order to be selected.
savedTask.assignTo
and personList
have different object references even if they have the same value, so you have to use Array.filter
to have the initial value of assignTo
from personList
like this:
const initValues = {
...savedTask,
assignTo: personList.filter(person => savedTask.assignTo.some(obj => obj.id === person.id))
};
const formik = useFormik({
initialValues: initValues,
onSubmit: (values) => {
console.log("values submit ", values);
}
});
