The documentation says that <ReferenceArrayInput> supports the emptyText property, but it does not work. #8425

Environment

React-admin version: 4.5.2

doc: https://marmelab.com/react-admin/AutocompleteArrayInput.html#emptytext

I used this property, but it didn't work:
https://codesandbox.io/s/quizzical-turing-wrjs7q?file=/src/posts/PostCreate.tsx

<AutocompleteArrayInput
          source="roles"
          choices={[
            { id: "admin", name: "Admin" },
            { id: "u001", name: "Editor" },
            { id: "u002", name: "Moderator" },
            { id: "u003", name: "Reviewer" }
          ]}
          emptyText="all"
        />

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Confirmed. This is due to a test that specifically excludes arrays in the support of emptyText:

react-admin/packages/ra-ui-materialui/src/input/AutocompleteInput.tsx

Lines 219 to 244 in 07434e6

    
           const finalChoices = useMemo( 
        
               () => 
        
                   // eslint-disable-next-line eqeqeq 
        
                   emptyText == undefined || isRequired || multiple 
        
                       ? allChoices 
        
                       : [ 
        
                             { 
        
                                 [optionValue || 'id']: emptyValue, 
        
                                 [typeof optionText === 'string' 
        
                                     ? optionText 
        
                                     : 'name']: translate(emptyText, { 
        
                                     _: emptyText, 
        
                                 }), 
        
                             }, 
        
                         ].concat(allChoices), 
        
               [ 
        
                   allChoices, 
        
                   emptyValue, 
        
                   emptyText, 
        
                   isRequired, 
        
                   multiple, 
        
                   optionText, 
        
                   optionValue, 
        
                   translate, 
        
               ] 
        
           );

Why was this test added in the first place? Needs further inquiry.
