How can I limit the drop down list of a relation field type. My related model has a column owner_id so when a new record is created and the dropdown list is rendered, it should only show the items belonging to the user.

Hi,

I would create a scope function like this

public function scopeOwner($query) {
    return $query->where('owner_id', 1);
}

And a dropdown list like this:

$list = Model::with(['relations' => function ($q) {
    $q->owner();
}])->get();

Will give that a try. Managed to do it by using getModelOptions and build my query there. Though i'm not sure how it works.

Do you have a link to documentation on the scope function?

Sure here:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/eloquent#query-scopes

Just tried it and it works. But now it seems like the reorder is breaking.

Managed to fixed it. My join statement was causing some conflict in the id columns.

A new question, when i update the record and the form is rendered, the selected item isn't showing in the dropdown list. It defaults to the first item. How can i set it to show the saved data?

Dears, i need more explanation on this part, i have a "products" model and i need only to view the products that have the column "is_purchased" set to "1", so i made the scope on the "product" model as follows.

public function scopeRawMaterials($query) { return $query->where('is_purchased', '=', 1); }

so, the question is how do i call this scope in the relation widget?

need urgent help :(
