Type: Feature Request

Add AllowCustom feature in the MultiSelect

Like https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/components/combobox/custom-value and https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/dropdowns/multiselect/custom-values/ so the user can input tags on their own without them being in the app data source.

ADMIN EDIT

The following sample may be useful in implementing this in the meantime: https://github.com/telerik/blazor-ui/tree/master/multiselect/add-new-item

Hello Sainath,

The feature is not yet live. It will be available in our upcoming release in May. It will be the next major version - 9.0.0. The scheduled release date is May 21st.

You may keep and eye on the release history, too.

So in which version of Telerik.UI.for.Blazor this requested feature is available.

Currently, we are using 7.0.0.

Hi,

Even we are looking for this feature and it is one of the must to have functionality in our product. Please prioritize this item at the earliest.

Hi Beverley,

I agree this would indeed be a very useful feature. Its status is currently unplanned but we have it on our radar as it is highly demanded.

The easiest way to track the progress of the item is to follow it. Once we schedule its implementation for a specific release, we will update its label and you will be immediately notified of that change.

Hi Eli,

Indeed, this item has gathered a lot of interest and yet it is not currently planned.

At this stage, I am not able to provide a firm estimate but I will escalate this to our management. Hopefully, we will be able to prioritize it for implementation sooner.

As you are following the request, you will be notified via email upon status change.

As of R2 2023, the default icon type will be SVG instead of Font. See this blogpost for more information.

Any update on this one? Should it be assumed that the workaround is the long-term solution? I do follow, but this and some of the other highest voted items have been out here for years with minimal updates.

Endy

To anyone interested in this, there is a sample project that shows how this could be achieved at the moment, even if it is a bit hackish: https://github.com/telerik/blazor-ui/tree/master/multiselect/add-new-item
