Provide a component for @mention in a textbox

Currently there is no component for adding text to an input from some datasource. There is an autocomplete but it does not allow mixing freetext and text coming from a datasource. And it only allows for one value.

 

What we need is exactly this  :  http://jeff-collins.github.io/ment.io/#/

 

Typing a special character in a textbox (#, or @) would bring a datalist the user can choose from.

 

Can this be implemented please  ?

Hi Jose,

At present, the feature request is not a part of our immediate development plans and we are still monitoring the customer demand for this feature. 

As for now, you may check out the following Knowledge Base article, which explains how to implement a similar "@mentions" functionality in the Editor component:

Since it seems that the demo in the above article is unable to load, I am linking below a working example, which implements the suggested approach:

Feel free to follow the current item in order to stay updated with any progress on its future implementation.

Thank you for the feature request it will examined for viability from our PMs , and eventually will be included in some of our future release.

I personally think that idea is very neat and already voted , you can invite other people to vote also.
