User add item & multi-select about choices HOT 33 CLOSED

I am curious if this issue will ever be resolved. It is 2019, and the issue was raised in 2016. If there is a new version of Choices coming out, when will it release?

Also, I would suggest that until then this be listed as a limitation of the tool on the main page. I have wasted a significant amount of time integrating Choices.js into our UI, before discovering that there is no way to provide a list of tags (with -select- tag) and additionally also allow the user to add their own tags. Maybe other individuals can be saved from this frustration...

Just to give an update, I've begun work on this within a feature branch

from choices.

still not possible ? ;s

^^ Ditto, quite surprising.

I had found myself in the same situation. Check out the fix I made. It's been working fine in production since July.

FYI, I've a pushed a PR (#79) to help complete this feature.
Feel free to comment !

Works neat!

Easy temporary workaround for anyone in need

It's not perfect and I don't actually recommend it but if you're in need/in a hurry - it's something.

Still an issue in the end of 2022? OMG...

Today I discovered that this library does not support this function. 😢

from choices.

The ability to add custom items to a multi-select is a definite possibility - that would be fairly simple to implement. Thanks for the suggestion.

from choices.

@jshjohnson if you are about to implement this feature can I also ask to apply this also for single select option tag? It would be great help on something I'm currently working...

from choices.

@jshjohnson I would like to give you some input here, so for the single value:

http://codepen.io/dgt41/pen/xRbpwK/

And for the multiple values:

http://codepen.io/dgt41/pen/RoNxro

And couple remarks here:

• there should be an option for the value (both for single and multiple)
• the search should return ONLY exact results not partials as it is ATM

Hope this is somehow helpful

from choices.

@jshjohnson any ETA here?

from choices.

@dgt41

I'll be looking at this as soon as I can - very busy this week though. I'm happy to review pull requests.

from choices.

@jshjohnson I did some testing on the feature branch, so for the single the item is added but is not active:

For the multiple I do get some strange behaviour, adding a new item will also add another (already existing) item. I hope I can find some time debugging and contributing some code

from choices.

Thanks to the PR from @StephaneTrebel, we're close to getting this feature through the door.

Things left to do:

• Ensure the select box stays focussed after inputting a custom choice
• Ensure the duplicateItems config option works with select elements (i.e. no inputting a value that already exists)
• Ensure added values are shown in the dropdown if the dropdown contains groups

from choices.

FYI, I've done some tests and I think that :

• Ensure the duplicateItems config option works with select elements (i.e. no inputting a value that already exists)

is ok.

I have not tested the groups since I don't use them yet. If I do I'll give a heads up :)

from choices.

Sorry, I do not understand how I do it.
Is it working or not?
Or is it still in development?

from choices.

@erikskar This feature is still in development (in the feature/select-add-items branch)

from choices.

Can we help?

from choices.

Hi @rstacruz - sure! I think this feature is really close to completion. It just needs some unit tests + some investigation into option groups (i.e what should happen if you have a groups of options and you add a new option).

from choices.

@jshjohnson any progress here?
Can you release a beta (that doesn't include the groups part)?

Thanks

from choices.

News...

from choices.

There is still one issue here if you have a select box with groups - added items do not appear in the dropdown. I think in this situation a group should be added titled 'Miscellaneous' with custom items within it. I don't think this is a blocker though so i've merged this into version 2.8.0.

from choices.

Sorry guys, I can not find any code for this feature. 😣
Could anyone tell me how to set the configs to support add items for multi-select?

from choices.

@zhanglun This feature is no longer being actively worked on. To enable it requires a more fundamental refactor of Choices (which is in the pipeline)

from choices.

@jshjohnson
Thank you very much. I really look forward to the new version

from choices.

Wow. I thought that the Choices have this feature. I need it too.

I have wasted a significant amount of time integrating Choices.js into our UI, before discovering that there is no way to provide a list of tags (with ) and additionally also allow the user to add their own tags.

The same situation..

from choices.

I think I want to give a shot at making this work. I also want to use it for a project.

I would love to see this as an option.

from choices.

I know this is really old; however, I did come up with a solution today for my needs that was very simple. I needed a way for a user to type a client name and if our database had a match the user can select the client. If there is not a match, the user can choose what they've searched for as the client.
