## 🔧 FIXES NEEDED
### 1. **Empty Venue Objects Repeater**
**Issue**: The `venue_objects_data` repeater appears empty in edit mode even though data is loaded.
**Root Cause Analysis**:
- Data is correctly loaded in `mutateFormDataBeforeFill()` (lines 316-324)
- The repeater has `->defaultItems(0)` which means it starts collapsed
- The repeater has `->visible(fn ($get) => !empty($get('venue_id')))` which might be hiding it
**Solution**:
```php
// In BookingForm.php, line ~466
Repeater::make('venue_objects_data')
->schema([
// ... existing schema
])
->columns(4)
->defaultItems(1) // Changed from 0 to 1
->addActionLabel('Add Room')
->collapsible()
->collapsed(false) // Already set
->reorderable()
->itemLabel(fn (array $state): ?string =>
$state['venue_object_id'] ?
\App\Models\VenueObject::find($state['venue_object_id'])?->name : null
)
->visible(true) // Remove conditional visibility or fix the condition
->afterStateHydrated(function ($component, $state) {
// Debug: Check if data is being loaded
\Log::info('Venue Objects Data:', ['state' => $state]);
}),
```
**Alternative Debug Approach**:
Add this to EditBooking.php after line 297:
```php
// Debug: Log the data being filled
\Log::info('Form Fill Data:', [
'venue_objects_count' => count($data['venue_objects_data'] ?? []),
'venue_objects_data' => $data['venue_objects_data'] ?? [],
]);
```
