[SelectField] Sending value to the server

[ishwinder]

SelectField is implemented as a dropdown menu rather than an input element. This means that the value can't be sent straight to form action.

Is this an expected behavior get the value by catching the form submit and then sending the value to the server ?

agreed, bit of annoyance. in the onchange handler, I've just been updating the value of a hidden input to the value selected from the select field so it gets automatically serialized when passed to the server.

I did the same hack i.e handled the onClick of the Select and updated the dummy hidden field so that it gets to the server on submit of form.

I came across the same issue, if we use the uncontrolled SelectField there's no input to take the selected value from
