Searchable() doesn't pre-populate with data

[pnofrc]

Hi, I'm using Laravel 10 and I need to use the searchable function inside a BelongsTo.

The searchable function works but it doesn't display the existing data.

The composer packages I found are deprecated. Anybody got a solution for this?

Thanks,
Federico

The goal would be something similar to this

We also stumbled upon this issue. It would be great to have the ability to preload existing options, similar to what we have for Tag fields.

Please, it would be great to have a searchable field.

If you do not need use ->showCreateRelationButton() in BelongsTo field, simply use Select field and set up like:

->searchable() inside Select field gives you search field, and ->options() will give you list of options based on the model.

Thats a pretty interesting approach :O

This can have performance implications, since that query will be evaluated every time Nova uses the resource. It's best to wrap the database call in a Closure so that it's only evaluated when needed.

For what I had to do, this is perfect. big up for @philipbaginski !
