Add text search/autocomplete to Drop-down filter for DataGrid 2
Filtering in a grid by reference is not easy if the list of options is quite large. E.g. for searching Orders by Product with such a data model:
You can either add a text filter - but then users already need to know what they are looking for - or you add a dropdown filter where you may need to scroll through a huge list to find the item you look for.
Can the Drop-down Filter for DG2 be extended to support autocompletion/filtering the selection list by entering a text, so that both features are combined?
Something like this is such a common function and should be available in Mendix out of the box:
Agree this is quite needed feature. Is this there in latest mendix?
This is definitely something that is needed. We have dropdown filters that have more than 100 options, we need to be able to search in the dropdown of a DG2 otherwise we cannot upgrade.
I encountered the same issue. I would like to offer the users the possibility to dynamically search within the dropdown but it seems it is not possible with the DG2 Filter
