  AH!

  
  

  
  

  I linked the wrong import path in our last discussion. 1 min

  
  

  
  

  Ok so you will want to import the Select component like so

  import SelectInput from 'payload/dist/admin/components/forms/field-types/Select/Input';

  (see the component here:

  https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/master/src/admin/components/forms/field-types/Select/Input.tsx

  )

  
  
  

  This will give you the styled component - so it looks and feels like other payload select components.

  
  
  

  What you need to do is implement similar functionality seen in this file in your custom Field component:

  https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/master/src/admin/components/forms/field-types/Select/index.tsx
  
  

  You can see how that file imports the

  <SelectInput />

  which is the one you will import, all of the state management (getting and setting options for your custom select) will live in a file that then passes props (onChange, value, options, etc) down to the SelectInput component.

  
  
  

  I hope this makes sense and steers you in the right direction!!

  Hi @jarrod_not

  jared , I'm back! Following your recommendation above I have the following:
  

  <SelectInput
    path={p}
    name='l'
    label='logic'
    options={options.map(option => option...)}
    onChange={e => handlePrerequisiteChange(e, path)}
  />

  
  The above doesn't persist between refreshes.
  
  The following sometimes works when another field is updated:
  ``html <select title='prerequisite' value={selectedOption} onChange={e => handlePrerequisiteChange(e, path)} > {options.map((option, index) => ( <option key={r-${index}} value={${option.question}

  ${option.answer}

  }> {

  ${option.question}_${option.answer}

  } </option> ))} </select> ``` * I'm still using

  useFormFields

  , I can't see how to make use of

  useFields

  (without violating react hook laws). How could I update each dropdown with useFields? My implementation is below * Changing an option in my select won't trigger the clean/dirty flag for saving/publishing changes but sometimes persists when other fields change Hopefully the content below will help paint a picture of what I'm working with and why I chose

  useFormFields

  : ```typescript // fields param is from: // const { fields, dispatch } = useFormFields(([fields, dispatch]) => ({ fields, dispatch })) const generateOptions: (fields: any) => string[] = fields => { const numberOfPages = pageState.pages.value const questionCombination = [...Array(numberOfPages).keys()].flatMap(pageNo => getAnswerOptionsFromAnswerTypes( // checks if boolean/multiple choice, etc // assuming there is currently only one question and answer fields[

  pages.${pageNo}.content.questions.0.answerType.0.blockType

  ], ).map<ConditionalLogicOptions>(option => ({ question: fields[

  pages.${pageNo}.content.questions.0.text

  ].value, answer: fields[

  pages.${pageNo}.content.questions.0.answerType.0.${option}

  ]?.value || '', })), ) return questionCombination } ``` Here's a screenshot displaying the dropdown comprised of state from multiple fields. using

  useField

  for the

  selectedValue

  triggers the clean/dirty flag for saving a draft/publishing and reloading sends it back to its previous value, so it's still not persisting Progress! I've used

  useField

  instead of

  useState` to set the selectedOption. That sorts out my clean/dirty and the reload.

  
  
  

  The only remaining issue is converting my un-styled select to your SelectInput. My select HTML is still as above. I'm getting page ids coming through for the dropdown when I use the following:

  
  

  <SelectInput
    path={path}
    name='logic'
    label='logic'
    options={options.map((option) => ({</option>)
      label: option,
      value: option
    }))}
    onChange={e => handlePrerequisiteChange(e, path)}
  />

  i am heading down this journey now, do you have some source code you wouldnt mind sharing

  Hey Aaron, I'm hoping to make this publicly available at some point soon, perhaps as a plugin? In the interim, it's currently baked into closed source code, will send a DM for the time being
