Can no longer initialize non selectable value in DropdownMenu as of flutter version 3.27.1 #160555
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create TextEditingController and initialize it with a value
- Create DropdownMenu with dropdownMenuEntries and with the TextEditingController
Expected results
the DropdownMenu should display the value of the TextEditingController regardless of whether or not that particular value is included in dropdownMenuEntries.
Actual results
the DropdownMenu only shows the value of the controller when that value is included in dropdownMenuEntries. It shows an empty text box if the controller value is not included.
In the example below it should display "fourth" but the entry is blank.
Code sample
Code sample
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
// This widget is the root of your application.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: Colors.deepPurple),
useMaterial3: true,
),
home: MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
final entries = ['first', 'second', 'third'];
late TextEditingController controller;
@override
void initState() {
controller = TextEditingController(text: 'fourth');
super.initState();
}
@override
void dispose() {
controller.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Theme.of(context).colorScheme.inversePrimary,
title: Text('Demo'),
),
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
DropdownMenu(
controller: controller,
dropdownMenuEntries: entries.map<DropdownMenuEntry<String>>((String value) {
return DropdownMenuEntry<String>(value: value, label: value);
}).toList(),
),
],
),
),
);
}
