multicombo box - possible to leave the character entered into the textbox after select

Webix JS
1

Hi,
I have a use case where we would like the character I entered into the multicombo box to remain after I select something from the suggestive search/filter. The current behavior is that the character or string entered in the box gets removed after we make a selection from the suggestive list. We woudl really want to have the character/text remain in the box to aid further typing and search for other items from the list.
Many thanks in advance for the clarification…

Unfortunately, there is not such an option in multicombo API. We will try to add such functionality in the next update.

Thanks @Maria - would it be possible to somehow “hack” the multicombo box component to enable such a customization?

We will add such a property for the multicombo in the next version. This property will enable the behavior you need.

  1. Just assign a new variable in your multiselect object
  2. Add variable’s value to input on suggest on show event - some like this:

myMultiselect.suggest.getPopup.addEvent(“onShow”, function(){
// add value to input - don’t know how exactly
});
