Is there a select object with free text? Topic is solved

[Timo]

Hi all,

I need a dropdown (kind of select object) from which I can select a city, for example. But you should also have the possibility to enter any other city.
The lookup object is out of the question, because I don't want you to add other cities there, which every other user will see. How can I do that?

Timo,

You can use an Input:nuScroll Object.

Hi,

I read that you can now also use a html datalist. In what format do I enter a list of values / what format is expected?

Hi,

The datalist field expects an array like:

Code: Select all

["value1", "value2", "value3"]

or

Code: Select all

[25,465,587,2525]

or even value/text pairs:

Code: Select all

[
    ["A", "Description for A"],
    ["B", "Description for B"],
    ["C", "Description for C"]
];

... and you can use the JS function nuAddDatalist() to add a data list to an input object:

Code: Select all

var dataList = [
    ["A", "Description for A"],
    ["B", "Description for B"],
    ["C", "Description for C"]
];

nuAddDatalist('nuSearchField', dataList);
