Fix data_entry_flow.section usage example #2454
Conversation
There is an error in the "Show form" section of this document with the collapsible sections example. It makes it impossible to use suggested_values in ConfigFlow/OptionsFlow fields. Related ticket: home-assistant/frontend#22419
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe documentation for the Data Entry Flow in Home Assistant has been significantly updated to enhance clarity and usability. Key areas of focus include the introduction of the framework's role in data entry processes, detailed explanations of flow management callbacks, refined result types with examples, and an updated Flow Handler section. Additional guidance on visual grouping of input fields, browser autofill, user input validation, and initializing config flows from external sources has also been included. Changes

122-132: Consider enhancing the example with more realistic field names.While the example correctly demonstrates the usage of
data_entry_flow.section, consider using more domain-specific field names to better illustrate real-world usage. For example, instead of generic "ssl_options", consider using names like "connection_security" or "advanced_security".- vol.Required("ssl_options"): data_entry_flow.section( + vol.Required("connection_security"): data_entry_flow.section( vol.Schema( { - vol.Required("ssl", default=True): bool, - vol.Required("verify_ssl", default=True): bool, + vol.Required("use_ssl", default=True): bool, + vol.Required("verify_certificate", default=True): bool, } ), {"collapsed": False}, )

1-24: Apply Microsoft Style Guide recommendations for clearer instructions.For better clarity and adherence to the style guide:
- Use bold for UI strings (e.g., Create Entry, Show Form)
- Make instructions more direct by removing unnecessary words
Example improvements:
- Data Entry Flow is a data entry framework that is part of Home Assistant. + Data Entry Flow is a framework in Home Assistant for managing data entry processes. - Data entry is done via data entry flows. + Use data entry flows to collect and validate user input.

Line range hint 1-600: Documentation changes align with PR objectives.
The updated documentation successfully addresses the issue with data_entry_flow.section usage example. The example code correctly demonstrates:
- Proper section implementation with schema
- Correct usage of the
suggested_valuesparameter - Clear explanation of how sections affect input structure
Proposed change
There is a mistake in the Show form section of the document within the collapsible sections example snippet. It makes it impossible to use
suggested_valuesparameter for any form field within the section. add_suggested_values_to_schema helper doesn't work either.With the proposed changes
suggested_valueparameter andadd_suggested_values_to_schemahelper works as intended.Type of change
