Why doesn't my placeholder work on columns with relationships?
I've set up a relationship between Customer and Account models.
class Customer extends Model
{
public function account(): HasOne
{
return $this->hasOne(Account::class, 'contactid');
}
}
class Account extends Model
{
public function individual(): BelongsTo
{
return $this->belongsTo(Individual::class, 'contactid');
}
}
So when I create an infolist with the section below the correct field values are loaded. The problem is that when the values are null the placeholder does not show for account.name.
Section::make('Customer Details')
->schema([
TextEntry::make('account.name')
->label('Account ID')
->placeholder('empty'), //This never shows
TextEntry::make('fullname')
->label('Account Type'), //This shows ok
)]
This behaviour seems to happen for all TextEntry fields that use relationships for their values.
I've even checked dd($this->customer->account) and I can see that the name is null.
class Customer extends Model
{
public function account(): HasOne
{
return $this->hasOne(Account::class, 'contactid');
}
}
class Account extends Model
{
public function individual(): BelongsTo
{
return $this->belongsTo(Individual::class, 'contactid');
}
}

Solution
I've found a way round this. Add this to the TextEntry:
->getStateUsing(fn ($record) => $record->account->name ?? null)
->getStateUsing(fn ($record) => $record->account->name ?? null)
