Select field type

mbparker

Hello. I'm using the latest versions of Datatables and Editor. I am using inline editing and have a Select field type that allows multiple selections. How do I get it to pre-select the already selected items when it drops down for edit?

Additionally, there are hundreds of values in this select list. I need to allow it to be filtered. What is the recommended way of adding a filter to the top of a Select editor?

Thanks,
Matt

Disregard the question about pre-selecting values - it works automatically when you put in the correct field name. :-)

I figured it out, but it doesn't seem like the right way to do it:

...
var searchableListInitialized = false;

    editor.on('preOpen', function(e, mode, action) {

        if (!searchableListInitialized) {

            var field = editor.field('ProjectIterationIds');
            $('select', field.node()).addClass('selectpicker');
            $('select', field.node()).attr('data-live-search', 'true');

            window.setTimeout(function() {
                $('.selectpicker').selectpicker({
                    width: '100%',
                    size: 5
                });
            }, 100);

            searchableListInitialized = true;
        }

        return true;
    });
