Steps to reproduce the issue
- In Joomla 3 add or change a field of
type="templatestyle"withmultiple="true"like this:
<field name="whateverName" type="templatestyle" default=""
label="Select whatever"
multiple="true"
description="">
</field>
- You get automatically a "chosened" field
- In Joomla 4 add or change a field of
type="templatestyle"withmultiple="true"like this. Don't forget thelayoutattribute that works as expected witlistfields:
<field name="whateverName" type="templatestyle" default=""
label="Select whatever"
multiple="true"
layout="joomla.form.field.list-fancy-select"
description="">
</field>
- Field doesn't use the
fancy-selectfeature. Multi selection needsSTRG.
Expected result
- Joomla 4 field should use fancy-select feature.

To fix this issue need to move GroupedlistField::getInput() to layout as it done for ListField::getInput()
and create 2 layouts
joomla.form.field.groupedlist - default
joomla.form.field.groupedlist-fancy-select - optional
Anyone brave here? :)

The problem seems to be that the
GroupedlistFieldis not organized and split into layouts, but rather hardcoded in the field class. So the layout can't be easily overridden with the fancy-select alternative.For cleaner code and consistency with most other fields, the best solution would be to change the
GroupedlistFieldimplementation to a layout-based one. This needs some digging into the code, as there is hardcoded HTML in several places inside the class.But for the problem described here (how to make multi-select grouped lists fancier), maybe somebody knows another solution based on CSS classes or JS behaviour?
