I have a user registration form, which requires one of the fields (select list) to be populated pro grammatically from a third party service.

  // NOTE: Customize the exiting area drop down programmatically from aquarius tables
  $lang = $form['field_area']['#language'];
  $form['field_area'][$lang]['#options'] = array_merge($form['field_area'][$lang]['#options'], $rows);

This works - at least renders fine - however when I submit the form if I select anything other than the default (hardcoded) item I get a validation error:

Area: illegal value

How do I circumvent this check for this single field

  • You could probably hack a way to circumvent it, but I think you are getting this error because the array you're using to populate #options is something other than a format Drupal expects. What does the array look like?

  • It's a standard PHP array when populated through the form builder interface:

  • Through this module? By 'standard', do you mean, it looks like array(0 => 'Option 1', 1 => 'Option 2') or array('option1' => array('a', 'b', 'c'), 'option2' => array('d','e','f'))?

  • Try to use drupal_map_assoc. $form['field_area'][$lang]['#options'] = drupal_map_assoc (array_merge($form['field_area'][$lang]['#options'], $rows));

  • By the user profile module I assume? Yes it appears to be a standard (flat) PHP associative array not modified with custom drupal attributes or values.
