It would be very useful if the ComboBox widget could optionally display the most frequently selected values at the top of the list, grouped under a separate section such as “Frequently used” or “Recent selections”. This would significantly improve usability, especially when working with large datasets where users tend to select the same values repeatedly. Currently, this behavior is not supported out of the box and requires custom logic or widgets.
Use Case
In enterprise applications, users often work with ComboBoxes that contain many records, such as customers, products, cost centers, or employees. In daily workflows, the same values are frequently selected again and again. Showing these frequently used values at the top would reduce search time and repetitive scrolling, leading to a smoother user experience.
Business Value
This feature would improve user efficiency, reduce interaction time, and enhance overall usability of Mendix applications. It would also reduce the need for custom implementations, making applications easier to maintain and more consistent across projects.
