Hello Steve,

All our templates (except one in the Chart) are Blazor RenderFragments, which allow any HTML, Razor components or MarkupStrings. So yes, the tag template (or whatever it's called) should have the same capabilities as the DropDownList ValueTemplate.

Hi Ben,

We are currently working on some big tasks that take up a lot of our development resources, such as the PivotGrid.

Frankly speaking, I can't say when exactly we will implement this feature request, but I confirm it's one of the popular ones, so it's likely to be prioritized sooner than later. I just pinged the product management to consider this in some of our next planning sessions.

In any case, the item status is the only official information that you can use as a reference. "Unplanned" usually means that a feature will not be released for at least a couple of more months.

@Kasim - it seems that your last message is more relevant to this feature request about a single TagMode.

Hello James,

The Template will be available once this feature request is implemented. The best way to be notified when the status changes is to click the Follow button which will send you email notifications.

Hello Dorian,

You can see how to use enums here: https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/knowledge-base/dropdown-kb-bind-to-enum and here is a sample I made for you based on it that does not require templates:

@if (selectedValues != null && selectedValues.Count() > 0)
{
    @selectedValues[0]
    <br />
    @* in this case the value is the enum type *@
    @selectedValues[0].GetType()
}
<br />

<TelerikMultiSelect Data="@myDdlData" TextField="MyTextField" ValueField="MyValueField" @bind-Value="@selectedValues"
                 ClearButton="false" Filterable="true">
</TelerikMultiSelect>

@code {
    public class EnumDdlModel
    {
        public Telerik.Blazor.AnimationType MyValueField { get; set; }
        public string MyTextField { get; set; }
    }

    List<Telerik.Blazor.AnimationType> selectedValues { get; set; }
    List<EnumDdlModel> myDdlData { get; set; } = new List<EnumDdlModel>();

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        //prepare instances of the model from the list of enum values and a desired string representation for the user
        foreach (Telerik.Blazor.AnimationType item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Telerik.Blazor.AnimationType)))
        {
            myDdlData.Add(new EnumDdlModel { MyTextField = item.ToString(), MyValueField = item });
        }

        base.OnInitialized();
    }
}

If the plain string representation does not suit your needs, use the preferred approach (like using a display name attribute) when creating the data source. Putting the desired text in the TextField of the multiselect is the way to have it automatically show up on the tag and on the dropdown.

Once a tag template becomes available you would be able to use a similar approach of getting the value, casting to your enum, and obtaining data annotations from it, but for the time being preparing the data source is the way to go, and that would continue working after a tag template is implemented.
