Hi, I have combo control with 8000 records options . I can search, find and select without problem but whenI show a saved form the option (if is not on the first ten options) is not selected. Why? Ok, I know why but is possible to execute server search before selection?
No, it doesn’t possible to execute search, but you can use the alternative setValue ( setValues ) call and provide both the id and the text of selected record.
combo.setValue({ id:"101", value:"Text to show" });
It possible to modify a combo, so it will check and load text on demand, but it will require a customized backend logic, and will have not a perfect user interaction anyway ( as data loading and async, so there will be delay between form loading and moment when the valid text will be shown in a combo )
