Gareth Carter updated OFBIZ-6414:
---------------------------------
Attachment: ModelFormField.patch
Attached is a patch that fixes the issue with drop-down widget. The patch will encode all the values inside the collection and return's the string representation as [X, Y, Z].
Just to point out, the Collection interface does not state the toString() method should return the string representation as [X, Y, Z] but the AbstractCollection does. If, for whatever reason, a Collection was used that does not inherit AbstractCollection, the field will not be populated with any stored values. Luckily it seems ofbiz does not use this type of field and Jacques has pointed out to me variants of this type of UI that may well be used instead
> drop-down widget field with allow-multiple="true" does not display current value

>
> ModelFormField.getEntry returns the string representation of the value corresponding to the field in either the context map or parameters map but when the value is returned as a list [X, Y, Z], the opening and closing brackets are encoded [X, Y, Z]
> This prevents the FormRenderer (atleast MacroFormRenderer) from detecting a list object from the string and converting it back to a list
> eg - currentValueList = StringUtil.toList(currentValue);
