MDBSelect reset


Topic: MDBSelect reset

mnikam asked 5 years ago

How can i reset the MDBSelect component based on some logic within the app? For example, if I had selected "Option 2", based on some conditional logic within the form, I want to clear the selection from the drop down, so user can select new options.

enter image description here

Hi @mnikam,

I don't know if I fully understood the problem, but you want probably use multi-select component and if I click the option then option must be selected and disabled, yes?

So, you need to update the option after a click.

If the problem is with the single select itself then from what I see it has a problem with updating the data. One of the exits is probably creating several select and hiding them and showing them in succession using css

Best regards, Konrad.

Hello Konrad,

Let me explain little better. I have a form with two MDBSelects. Let's say first one is ControlGroups and the second one is Meters. When I select an item from Control Group, I'm getting list of meters and populating Meter items. Now I have selected a meter and went back to Control Group to change my selection. Now when I retrieve meters that match the newly selected control group. Now i see the new meters in the Meters dropdown. But I'm not able to clear the meter I selected earlier.

Appreciate your help

Thanks Manohar

Hi @mnikam,

Can you send me also data from your states? Or can you make a snippet

Without output data, I can only guess how to restore a project without errors.

Best, Konrad.
