Nested model attribute label issue

[dynasource]

within the current state of the software, this is expected behavior.

In order to get the right label, you should use:

 $form->field($formModel->summaryReview, 'rate')
		->textInput([
			'type' => 'number'
		]) ?>

@dynasource woulnt the field name be incorrect then?

[dynasource]

correct. To my knowledge, this is could be further improved.

$form->field($formModel->summaryReview, 'rate') is another model, which I have to load and validate individually. I want this model to be nested for convenience.

@TerraSkye AFAIK you could override getAttributeLabel and implement the label resolution there. Ideally you forward it so it takes the label from the related model.

@SamMousa overridding of getAttributeLabel is not working. My form has inputs with names CompletedOrderReviewForm[**primaryReview**][rate], CompletedOrderReviewForm[**summaryReview**][rate] and CompletedOrderReviewForm[**secondaryReviews**][rate], but CompletedOrderReviewForm::getAttribute receives only primaryReview, summaryReview and secondaryReviews as arguments. There is not way to know what field's label of my nested model requested.

[SamMousa]

Ah ok;don't know how to get around that.

[TerraSkye]

the only workaround i see is to manually set the label.

[dynasource]

I agree this to be an issue. Hasnt this been posted before in another ticket?

[tekord]

@TerraSkye do you mean $form->field(...)->label(...)? Field name would be ok, but messages in validation errors are not.

[TerraSkye]

personally i had bad experience by nesting models, the way u presented and therefore i tend to avoid that situation, but yes i understand the issue.

There are no models anymore.
