Fixes #1056

Required multiselect checkbox attributes can keep a stale server-side validation error after the user changes the selection. Empty multivalued attributes are currently initialized with a [""] placeholder, which is appropriate for repeated add/remove fields but not for grouped multiselect controls. The server-error retention check also compares only the initial prefix, so the placeholder keeps matching after a checkbox value is appended.

This change initializes empty grouped multiselect fields with [] and compares their full value array when deciding whether a server error is still applicable. Repeated multivalued fields keep the existing placeholder and prefix behavior.

Tests cover clearing the server error after selecting a checkbox, restoring it when reverting to the original empty value, and preserving repeated-field behavior.

Validation:

  • vitest run — 31 tests passed
  • tsc -p test/tsconfig.json --noEmit — passed after generating the repository's ignored i18n artifacts
  • Prettier check on changed files — passed
  • git diff --check — passed

No public API changes or Keycloak-version-specific behavior are introduced.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The profile API now initializes empty multiselect fields with [], compares their complete values for server errors, and preserves [""] for repeated multivalued fields. Tests cover error clearing, restoration, and repeated-field behavior.

Changes

Multivalued field error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
State and server-error handling
src/login/lib/getUserProfileApi/getUserProfileApi.ts
Multiselect fields now use [] when no values exist. Server-side error checks compare the full value array for these fields. Other multivalued fields retain the [""] placeholder.
Regression coverage
test/login/getUserProfileApi.spec.ts
Tests verify that multiselect errors clear and return as values change. Tests also verify that repeated multivalued fields retain their placeholder and server-side error. Browser API mocks support the test setup.

Required radio-button groups can lose their server validation error after users revert a selection, allowing inconsistent validation feedback. Extend the grouped-control predicate before merging.

Not sure if relevant: Keycloak's default login theme also adds an empty string as an additional value for multiselect-checkboxes. This was added in keycloak/keycloak@9d47235 to fix an issue where it was impossible to unset a field, because when no checkbox is selected, the attribute is not included in the POST request. I'm not really sure whether the changes in this PR would cause a similar problem.

Maybe interesting: Keycloak also had problems with the empty string added by the commit above (ref) which were resolved in the meantime.

@garronej Yes. I recommend merging this PR. I re-reviewed commit 837ca30 and checked the referenced Keycloak changes. I found no merge-blocking regression in this diff.

Why the fix is correct

  • Empty grouped multiselects now start with []. The [""] placeholder remains limited to repeated multivalued fields.
  • Grouped multiselects now compare the full value array. Selecting a checkbox clears the stale server error. Returning to the original empty array restores that error.
  • The tests cover those transitions and preserve the existing repeated-field behavior.

About the empty-string concern

iTob191 identified a real concern, but this PR does not introduce it.

In src/login/UserProfileFormFields.tsx, InputTagSelects renders the configured checkboxes. It does not render a hidden empty-value input. The previous [""] state placeholder did not create such an input either.

Therefore, changing that state to [] does not remove an empty value from the POST request. When every checkbox is unchecked, the browser omits the checkbox group both before and after this PR.

The upstream changes address separate layers:

  • Keycloak commit 9d47235 adds a hidden input so an empty checkbox group gets submitted.
  • Keycloak PR #53052 fixes server-side required validation when that hidden input submits an empty string alongside selected values.

Merge this validation-state fix separately. Track clearing an existing optional checkbox attribute as a follow-up, with a submission-level test against Keycloak.

Verification limits

I inspected the source and tests. I did not run repository code. The PR description reports 31 passing tests, type checking, and formatting checks. GitHub currently exposes only a successful CodeRabbit status, not an independent build/test result.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for empty-checkbox submission?

Learning: In `src/login/lib/getUserProfileApi/getUserProfileApi.ts`, `getIsMultivaluedSingleField` also drives the consistency patch that sets `attribute.multivalued = true`. Do not classify `select-radiobuttons` as multivalued based only on its input type; it is a single-select Keycloak input, while `multiselect-checkboxes` is the relevant grouped multiselect input type for issue #1056.

Hi @garronej, thanks again for reviewing this and for adding me as a contributor.

Just following up on #1061 since it is still open. The PR is currently mergeable and the CI check is green. main has moved forward since it was opened, but the intervening change in getUserProfileApi.ts is unrelated to the multiselect logic here.

I'm happy to rebase/update the branch against the latest main if you'd prefer that before merging.
