The presence of the <choose> option leads me to infer that this particular field is a required field. If the field isn't required, the <choose> option becomes a <none> option, and in at least 5.9.2.4.20180501195858_35dc609, the element that gets loaded by default (if one isn't already set) is "Nothing selected" which  is what the customer in question was asking for unless I am horribly mistaken. If the field is set to not be required, I expect that this ticket can be closed as not a bug.

Comment 5 Tina Fitzgerald 2018-05-04 15:03:49 UTC
Hi Ryan,

Can you ask the customer to check the dialog configuration based on comment4?

Thanks,
Tina

Comment 6 Ryan Spagnola 2018-05-07 15:12:35 UTC
Hi Tina & Drew,

I relayed the information back to the customer. I'll let you know what they say.

Comment 8 drew uhlmann 2018-05-09 12:09:39 UTC
I still think it would be super-useful to see the dialog and automation code if that's possible.

Comment 16 Tina Fitzgerald 2018-05-14 17:47:34 UTC
Hi Ryan,

We believe this is working as designed.

Since this ticket is marked as a blocker, could you check in with the customer?
If they are not satisfied that it is working properly, could you ask them to supply a reproducer dialog and instructions?  As Drew states in comment 13, their dialogs are complex and we're not able to run them here.

Thanks,
Tina

Hi drew , 

I tested this on https://10.12.213.192.
I think the issue Ryan is saying is , The multiselect field vCenter is submitted when no value is selected , that means with "nothing selected" even though the field is set to "required" = True .

Multiselect None selected by default

Used the attached dialog and domain .

Also , the location multiselect is set to "required = True" 
but the dialog gets submitted even when no value is selected.

Tested in 5.8.4.4.20180611155620_d2f7ab6

Comment 32 drew uhlmann 2018-06-13 13:32:27 UTC
Hey Ryan! Shveta says that the original issue this ticket was opened for, the on load value of the field being selected, is why this failed QE but since you and I both saw this working I was wondering if you could take another look at it for me please. The being able to submit the value even when it's nil is a different issue that's in the process of being addressed here: https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/pull/17543/files and should've gotten a different ticket, because it's a different issue. The original issue though should have been solved by the PR that got merged and I'm at a loss as to why this failed QE.

Comment 33 drew uhlmann 2018-06-13 16:16:47 UTC
Shveta, none shows selected because you have the field set up to not have the values loaded on init. I'm seeing a text value on load of "Nothing selected" which is the patternfly default for selectboxes like this, but per the customer's request, there is not a value selected and the "nothing selected" is merely a placeholder text. I think my fix worked. 

Can I please have a reproducer?

Comment 34 Shveta 2018-06-13 17:11:35 UTC
Okay . By default "nothing selected" shows .

So if we are fixing the dialog being submitted even if no value is selected in multiselect,  in a separate BZ , then I can verify this.
Let me know .

Thanks, 
Shveta
