Modals with Select fields

[jbaumgarten]

Hi guys,

Does modal still work with Select fields?

import discord.app_commands
import discord.ui

token = #TOKEN here
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())
tree = discord.app_commands.CommandTree(client)

@tree.command(
    name="modal",
    description="Send modal."
)
async def modal(ctx:discord.Interaction):
    modal=discord.ui.Modal(title="Hello!")
    modal.add_item(discord.ui.Select(min_values=1, max_values=1, options=[discord.SelectOption(label='A'), discord.SelectOption(label='B')]))
    await ctx.response.send_modal(modal)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("ready")
    await tree.sync()
client.run(token)

produces the following error

2022-10-17 21:48:43 INFO     discord.client logging in using static token

First of all, you'll want to regenerate your credentials now, if you haven't already.

This was never supported by Discord, and they started disallowing it back in August.

Hi @Harmon758

My credentials are already regenerated thx ^^

I read the topic: #8312 that's why I thought I can use select in modals
Select only works in view?

What kind of items should I use to handle Select AND TextInput?

[Harmon758]

Yes, like I said, Discord started disallowing select menus in modals back in August.

You'll have to use views and modals separately.

You'll have to use views and modals separately.

That's a bit ugly to be forced to use several kind of items to handle text inputs and select :(

[Harmon758]

There's nothing discord.py can do about it.

You can discuss the feature request at https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/discussions.

[jbaumgarten]

@Harmon758 ok thx man :)

String selects got introduced about 3 weeks back:
https://discord.com/developers/docs/change-log#introducing-new-modal-components

This seems to be working (2.7.1 and probably as early as 2.6)

As per the discord docs you put your select inside a Label
scale = ui.Label (
text="Choose the map scale",
component=ui.Select(options=options)
)

[vaguely-happy]

For anyone looking - the marked answer is now obsolete due to changes by Discord

The correct answer is now that this is present and working inside the ui.Label element
