Problem autocompletion in multiselect field

Kirby 3 Solved ✅
1

Hello,
I am trying to use a Multiselect field with an autocomplete. I use the proposed code:

category:
  label: Category
  type: multiselect
  options:
    type: query
    query: site.taxonomy.split

In the panel the field gives me as a proposal type: query and query: site.taxonomy.split and I can’t enter a new value in the field. What am I doing wrong?

Which Kirby version are you using? What type of field is the taxonomy field?

kirby 3.7.3.
In fact I would like to use this multiselect to mark images so that I can then filter them in a gallery. I would like this field to refer to itself. So if I try

category:
            label: Category
            type: multiselect
            options:
              type: query
              query: site.category.split

I have the same problem.

Ok, thanks for the additional info. How options work has been changed in 3.8 and you are using the new syntax which won’t work in 3.7.3

category:
  label: Category
  type: multiselect
  options: query
  query: site.category.split

But with a multiselect field, you cannot add new options, for this you would have to use a tags field instead. What I don’t quite get yet is why your are querying the site object. If you are using this field in the file metadata, you probably want to query the sibling files?

Yes in fact I had already tried with a tag field but without success either.
tags:

  label: Tags
            type: tags
            options:
              type: query
              query: siblings.pluck("tags", ",", true)

What is the correct syntax for my version of kirby?

This should work:

tags:
  label: Tags
  type: tags
  options: query
  query: file.siblings.pluck("tags", ",", true)

Great, it works like this! You saved my day, thank you! :grinning:
