Select field Old value cannot be displayed in laravel

I’m having a user registration form with a select field, When ever I get an error on the form user redirected to the form and display the previously entered values

I able to display old values for the text fields but I am finding it difficult to display old values for the select field,

My select field as follows,

<select id="app-subdomainsuffix"  class="form-control @error('subDomainSuffix') is-invalid @enderror" name="subDomainSuffix" aria-required="true">
                                <option value="">- {{ __('sentence.Select domains') }} -</option>
                                <option value="test.site"  >TEST.SITE</option>
                            </select>

I’m using laravel 7

Answer

First of all you need value for each option and i don’t see any value for your first option. Then you need a logic to check if the option was selected and assign “selected Attribute” to HTML :

<select id="app-subdomainsuffix"  class="form-control @error('subDomainSuffix') is-invalid @enderror" name="subDomainSuffix" aria-required="true">
                                <option value="value1" @if(old('subDomainSuffix') == "value1") selected @endif >- {{ __('sentence.Select domains') }} -</option>
                                <option value="test.site" @if(old('subDomainSuffix') == "test.site") selected @endif >TEST.SITE</option>
                            </select>

Above example can just demonstrate how to select the option, but for cleaner code you better come with array of option as mentioned in this topic .
