htmlform-select-badoption errors
[edit]If you're building a select dropdown and you're getting htmlform-select-badoption errors, try adding a default value. This array was throwing errors:
Array
(
[Amsterdam] => AMS
[Barcelona] => BCN
[Berlin] => BER
[Bhiwandi] => BHI
[Deer Park] => DPK
[The Hague] => HAG
[Hong Kong] => HKG
[Lexington] => LEX
[Montego Bay] => MBY
[Mumbai] => MUM
[Paris] => PAR
[Silver Spring] => SSM
[Singapore] => SGP
[Sydney] => SYD
[Tunis] => TUN
[Vadodara] => VAD
[Venlo] => VEN
[Windsor] => WND
[Winterthur] => WTR
)
Copying the array from the tutorial did not throw errors:
Array
(
[Option 0] => 0
[Option 1] => 1
[Option 2] => option2id
)
Note that their structures are the same; one is just a bit more complex than the other.
Making an explicit default got rid of the error message:
'office' => array(
'name' => 'office',
'type' => 'select',
'label' => wfMessage('in-office')->parse(),
'section' => 'convert-from-section-label',
'options' => $this->buildOfficeList(),
'default' => reset($this->buildOfficeList()),
),

HTMLApiField usage ?
[edit]public static $typeMappings = [ 'api' => 'HTMLApiField',
Can this be used for custom html api ?
