Hi @realdragonma. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- You can modify the clients value before submitting the form by using the onFinish prop of the Form component. Here's how you can update your code:

export default function SessionsEdit(): ReactElement | null {
    // Variables
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm<ISession>({
        dataProviderName: PROVIDERS.LEARNING_LAB,
        resource: "session",
    });

    const { data: dataClients } = useList<IClient>({
        dataProviderName: PROVIDERS.LEARNING_LAB,
        resource: "clients",
    });

    const clients: IClient[] = dataClients?.data ?? []

    const handleFinish = (values: any) => {
        // Transform clients array
        const updatedClients = values.clients.map((clientId: string) => ({ id: clientId }));

        // Update the clients key with the new array
        values.clients = updatedClients;

        // Call the original onFinish function with the updated values
        formProps.onFinish?.(values);
    };

    return (
        <Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
            <Form layout="vertical" {...formProps} onFinish={handleFinish}>
                <GenerateFormItem label="Clients" name="clients" icon="ant-design:login-outlined" component={
                    <Select
                        mode="tags"
                        allowClear
                        options={clients.map(client => ({label: client.name, value: client.id}))}
                        onChange={(value) => {
                            console.log(value);
                        }}
                    />
                }/>
            </Form>
        </Create>
    )
}

export default function SessionsEdit(): ReactElement | null {
    // Variables
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm<ISession>({
        dataProviderName: PROVIDERS.LEARNING_LAB,
        resource: "session",
    });

    const { data: dataClients } = useList<IClient>({
        dataProviderName: PROVIDERS.LEARNING_LAB,
        resource: "clients",
    });

    const clients: IClient[] = dataClients?.data ?? []

    const handleFinish = (values: any) => {
        // Transform clients array
        const updatedClients = values.clients.map((clientId: string) => ({ id: clientId }));

        // Update the clients key with the new array
        values.clients = updatedClients;

        // Call the original onFinish function with the updated values
        formProps.onFinish?.(values);
    };

    return (
        <Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
            <Form layout="vertical" {...formProps} onFinish={handleFinish}>
                <GenerateFormItem label="Clients" name="clients" icon="ant-design:login-outlined" component={
                    <Select
                        mode="tags"
                        allowClear
                        options={clients.map(client => ({label: client.name, value: client.id}))}
                        onChange={(value) => {
                            console.log(value);
                        }}
                    />
                }/>
            </Form>
        </Create>
    )
}

In this code, we define a handleFinish function that transforms the clients array into the desired format and then calls the original onFinish function with the updated values. We pass this handleFinish function to the Form component using the onFinish prop. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

kapa.ai•14mo ago

---------------------- Based on the provided code, you are trying to modify the form data before submitting it to the API. You have created a handleFinish function to update the clients array and then call the original onFinish function with the updated values. Here's the code snippet you provided:

const handleFinish = (values: any) => {
    console.log("ok");
    const updatedClients = values.clients.map((clientId: string) => ({ id: clientId }));
    // Update the clients key with the new array
    values.clients = updatedClients;

    // Call the original onFinish function with the updated values
    formProps.onFinish?.(values);
}

return (
    <Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
        <Form onFinish={handleFinish} layout="vertical" {...formProps}>
            {/* Form items */}
        </Form>
    </Create>
)

const handleFinish = (values: any) => {
    console.log("ok");
    const updatedClients = values.clients.map((clientId: string) => ({ id: clientId }));
    // Update the clients key with the new array
    values.clients = updatedClients;

    // Call the original onFinish function with the updated values
    formProps.onFinish?.(values);
}

return (
    <Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
        <Form onFinish={handleFinish} layout="vertical" {...formProps}>
            {/* Form items */}
        </Form>
    </Create>
)

This approach should work as expected, as it follows the example provided in the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/hooks/form/useForm/#how-can-i-change-the-form-data-before-submitting-it-to-the-api). If you are facing any issues, please provide more context or error messages, and I'll try my best to help you based on the information extracts available. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

useForm | refine

useForm is used to manage forms. It returns the necessary properties and methods to control the Antd Form. Also, it has been developed by using useForm imported from @refinedev/core package.
