[4.1.x] Cannot use accessor as attribute for select column, without appends on the model

See original GitHub issue

Bug report

After upgrade to backpack v4.1 when use attribute type of model function for column, it does not work actually.

What I did

Column definition:

$this->crud->addColumn([
            'type' => 'select',
            'name' => 'id_outlay_center',
            'label'=> trans('backpack::nou.outlay_center'),
            'entity' => 'outlayCenter', // the method that defines the relationship in your Model
            'attribute' => "outlay_center_with_code", // foreign key attribute that is shown to user
            'model' => "App\Models\Codelist\OutlayCenter", // foreign key model
        ]);

Attribute “outlay_center_with_code” is calculated in model like this:

App\Models\Codelist\OutlayCenter {

    public function getOutlayCenterWithCodeAttribute()  //outlay_center_with_code
    {
            return $this->code . ' - ' .$this->title;
    }

}

Attributes work only with fillable fields, not calculated like getNameAttribute().

What I expected to happen

It worked in v4.0 ??

What happened

Does not work in v4.1 ??

What I’ve already tried to fix it

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version

When I run php artisan backpack:version the output is:

PHP VERSION:

LARAVEL VERSION:

v7.10.3@6e927e78aafd578d59c99608e7f0e23a5f7bfc5a

BACKPACK VERSION:

4.1.3@02988a0d14b09e55949781d729060df910f0d94b

Hello @potocky

Do you have outlay_center_with_code in $appends on your model ? Could you add it and check again ?

Hello guys, once again sorry for the frustration of running into this error.

I’v submited #2815 that will allow to use mutated attributes without adding them to appends, just like it was back in 4.0.

Once again, sorry for inconvenience. Going to close this so we keep any discussion in PR thread.

If possible could you test the solution provided in #2815 and give feedback there ? It would be awesome .

Best, Pedro
