Pivot: Issue with Pivot filter losing previous selections when using search

1

Hello,

I’m using the Webix Pivot widget and noticed an issue with filtering when there are many possible values (100–200 options) and the filter supports multi-selection.

Here’s the scenario:

  • I select one option from the filter list (e.g. one that’s visible at the top).
  • Then I want to select another option that is further down in the list. Instead of scrolling, I use the search field to find it.
  • As soon as I type in the search field, the option I previously selected is automatically deselected, and the filter applies a new selection based only on the currently visible options after the search.

This behavior makes it very inconvenient, because I lose my previous selection every time I use the search box.

Is there a way to prevent this and keep previously selected options when using the search field in the filter dialog?

Thank you for your help!

Hello @progettoautomazione ,

To keep previously selected options when using the search field in the filter dialog, with the help of protoUI you need to create your custom filter component based on the filter view.

You can apply your custom filter to a pivot widget through customization pivot.views.filter.
