const handleChange = event => {

debugger
updateNewFighterForm(name, value)
}

The bottom of my form is where I would like to input the drop down select for the user to choose which one of their lists they would like to add the fighter to. In my debugger placed within mapStateToProps, I see the array of lists that is defined in "lists: state.myLists". I would like to be able to properly map the array and show the select option for the user to choose the list. I assume that I will need to add "lists" as one of the destructed properties defined for NewFighterForm (let me know if my understanding is correct). Please let me know if any more details are needed and I will update the post accordingly. Thank You all, much appreciated!
Yes, destructure lists from the props object and, assuming lists is an array, map as normal JSX. Here I'm assuming the lists array contains element objects that have a value and label property to display from, this will need to be tweaked to fit your actual lists array element shape.
const NewFighterForm = ({
formData,
updateNewFighterForm,
handleSubmit,
editMode,
lists, // <-- get lists from props
}) => {
...
return (
<div>
<h1>Add Fighter</h1>
<form
onSubmit={event => {
event.preventDefault()
debugger
handleSubmit(formData)
}}
>
<ol>
...
<label>List for Fighter: </label>
<br></br>
<select
name="lists"
onChange={handleChange}
>
<option disabled>Choose List for Fighter</option>
{lists.map(listItem => ( // <-- map the list
<option value={listItem.value}> // <-- the option value
{listItem.label} // <-- what you want displayed
</option>
))}
</select>
...
</ol>
</form>
</div>
)
};
const mapStateToProps = state => {
// debugger
return {
formData: state.newFighterForm,
lists: state.myLists
}
};
