The problem is in this line :

{{isset($template->type) ? @if($template->type=='sms' "selected=true" @endif : 'sms'

try it like this :

<select name="notificationtype" required class="form-control">
    <option value="sms" @if(isset($template->type) && $template->type=='sms') "selected=true" @endif > SMS </option>
    <option value="email" @if(isset($template->type) && $template->type=='email') "selected=true" @endif > Email </option> 
</select>

While the error get resolved but selection is still not working and only first item is being selected – Muhammad Muazzam Nov 13 '17 at 10:57
try it replacing `"selected=true"` with `"selected"` !! – Maraboc Nov 13 '17 at 10:59
So you didn't have the type seted in `$template->type` !! – Maraboc Nov 13 '17 at 11:12
Is this `type` keyword issue in blade template? – Muhammad Muazzam Nov 13 '17 at 11:13
I think it's just a type value !! is it equal exactly to `'sms'` including case sensitive ? – Maraboc Nov 13 '17 at 11:19
