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:
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
