Hello, we are using joomla to configure 2 remote systems and we render select dropdowns with options's values provided by external systems (exact.com).

It seems that choicesjs trims the value of the option and thus when you save the (j)form the values are not same as provided by external system and configuration is lost.

Example how to reproduce:

<joomla-field-fancy-select>
<select name="mytest">
<option value="">Please select a value</option>
<option value="4  ">ID4</option>
</select>
</joomla-field-fancy-select>

Choices change option's value to value="4" and thus when the page renders the "4 " is not selected per stored value. I believe this is very incorrect to change rendered option's values.

We load it via code below, but it's possibly irrelevant:

$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
														JHtml::_('jquery.framework');
														if (method_exists($doc, 'getWebAssetManager')) {
															$doc->getWebAssetManager()
																->usePreset('choicesjs')
																->useScript('webcomponent.field-fancy-select');
														}

best regards, stan
