Ajax on init

[agil-NUBBA]

Hi,

I guess I found a non-covered use-case, I'm working with a update form, where the stored value could be 2, and I'm not able to save the label (text), with a JSON like this comming from the server, and I want to retrive the label (text) from there, right after the page loads:

[
    {
        "value": "1",
        "text": "Chair",
        "class": "string"
    },
    {
        "value": "2",
        "text": "Table",
        "class": "string"
    }
]

Current behaviour

• The page loads.
• There is not way to perform an onInit ajax in order to retrieve (some) options, until the user types something.

Expected behaviour would be:

• The page loads.
• If the selector has a selected value (with an unknown label), do an ajax to retrieve some options, so you get the label (text) of the selected option.

thanks in advance

if the page loads and you got the selected value, you should also get the label from this selected value.

there is no need for an initial ajax, you need to/have to do it on pageload yourself.
if you dont have that label on pageload, you need to make an ajax before the selectpicker is initialized, this depends on your code or add it where you gather the selected id/form data.

this is a searchajax and not a "get me a label by id ajax".
this is why the use-case is just wrong.

Yep, I ended preloading the options at the backend. Works I guess.
