How to derive Linked Entries when field type is a list?

[daviddelusenet]

I'm running basically into the same issue as in #158.

I got a content model called Radio which currently has a field called options which is of the type Short text, list. The values of this field for example are: ['Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3'].

Now I want to write a migration which migrates every value in the options field array to an entry, so this should be the end result:

// Entry 1
{
  key: "Option 1",
  label: "Option 1
}

// Entry 2
{
  key: "Option 2",
  label: "Option 2"
}

// Entry 3
{
  key: "Option 3",
  label: "Option 3"
}

However, the deriveLinkedEntries will only run once for the options field but this field contains multiple values.

Can you provide an example of a migration which converts each value of a list field to an entry?

Please let me know if you need any more information and thanks in advance.

I'm dealing with exactly the same problem.
@daviddelusenet did you ever find a solution?

I'm also running into this issue.

We'd prefer to stick with migrations rather than using the CMA if it's at all possible.

Having the ability to return an array of objects instead of just one object would be great.

For reference this is what I'd like to do:

Original entry:

{
  "list":[
    "option 1",
    "option 2",
    "option 3"
  ]
}

To this new object:

{
  "list_ref": [ref1, ref2, ref3]
}

// on a different content type
// ref1:
{
  "title": "option 1"
}
// ref2:
{
  "title": "option 2"
}
// ref3:
{
  "title": "option 3"
}
