[Bug] Repeatable field issue after update to Version 5

Bug report

What I did

I was using repeatable field on a dynamic form by using JS to modify the hidden field holding the value before calling initializeFieldsWithJavascript and it was working correctly in version 4.1 but after migrating to version 5 it’s no longer working the value must be set while rendering the form

What I expected to happen

the input value should have been rendered correctly

What happened

the field is rendered based on the default configuration

Is it a bug in the latest version of Backpack?

After I run composer update backpack/crud the bug is it still there

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version

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

PHP VERSION:

Alternatively @basselhossam … if you’re in a rush and can’t change your logic right now, you should be able to:

• copy-paste the old repeatable.blade.php file to your resources/views/vendor/backpack/crud/fields with a different name (say… repeatable_v4.blade.php);
• use repeatable_v4 where you have those customizations - it should still work in v5;

Do keep in mind that it might not work in the next version, though. So you should plan on rewriting that custom logic at some point anyway.

Hope it helps. Cheers!

I will probably go with this for now

Haaa ok @basselhossam . It makes sense then using @tabacitu solution. If it worked previously it would still work now. My mistake then, I misunderstood, apologise! 🙏
