Related to Mountaineers issue #3991.
I think the root cause for this issue relies on plone.app.z3cform.
When the form is submitted selected values for select2 widgets are stored in the request form as strings, but the
Select2Widget
extract
method is not doing any kind of validation on the request input to ensure this is converted to a list like z3c.form is doing on theSequenceWidget
.Thus when the
DisplayValue
method is called it expects to iterate on a list, but it will instead iterate on a string and raiseLookupError
s which are ignored.This "hacky" solution is the best thing i could find without the need to edit directly z3c.form or plone.app.z3cform code.
