[BUG] On new item, category dropdown disappears after error

[cielf]

Summary

If you have an error on new item, the category list for selection disappears. It shouldn't.

Details

Recreation

login as [email protected]
Select Inventory, then Items & Inventory, then Items, then New Item
Click in the "Category" field. You will see a list of categories to choose from
Click Save
Click in the "Category" field. You no longer see a list of categories to choose from.

Hint

It's probably re-rendering without resetting up the category stuff.

Required change

The ability to select "Category" should still be available after having an error on this screen.

Criteria for completion

• Behaviour as described above
• tests to confirm the behaviour.

"Thanks for posting, Daniela. It reminded me of something I noticed that also concerns forms. I thought it could have been my branch, but I tried it on main, and the issue persisted.
Recreating:
When logged in as a bank, navigate to http://localhost:3000/items/new
Submit a blank form.
Bug: The drop-down menu for category no longer functions and changes into some kind of numeric input that can be decreased or increased.
I’m not sure if this is a known issue or not, but I thought I’d share."
