I’m new to Drupal forms – trying to figure out a maddening problem.
I have a content type of ‘doc-upload’ with various fields including ‘publisher_code’.
When I define the ‘publisher_code’ field type to ‘text’, and go through my upload process, yada yada yada, the value appears in my $node structure later as expected.
When I change ‘publisher_code’ to “field type: List (text), widget: Select list”, and I try to dynamically populate that element with:
function mymodule_form_doc_upload_node_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
$publishers = array( 'pub1' => 'Publisher 1', 'pub2' => 'Publisher 2' );
$form['field_publisher_code'] = array(
'#title' => t('Select a publisher'),
'#type' => 'select',
'#options' => $publishers,
'#multiple' => FALSE,
'#empty_value' => '',
'#empty_option' => '- None -',
'#required' => TRUE
);
}
The form displays properly, but when the form is submitted, the ‘field_publisher_code’ doesn’t come out the other side – presumably it’s getting filtered/invalidated somewhere, but I can’t seem to find where?
