Please add grouping to combobox and dropdown for feature parity with kendo for jquery.

I would like to migrate from kendo jquery to kendo angular but the lack of group by is a major problem

We are desperately searching for a MultiColumnComboBox and I am very surprised that it is not part of the Kendo Angular components.
The MultiComlumnComboBox is one of the most important components and a lot of people deal with it everytime. We have lots of models for which a single text is not enough and doesn't really tell the user anything about the dataset

Example:

Let's say we have a company table in the db like the following:

+----+---------+---------+----------+
| Id |  Name1  |  Name2  |  Name3   |
+----+---------+---------+----------+
|  1 | Porsche | USA     | New York |
|  2 | Porsche | USA     | Boston   |
|  3 | BMW     | Germany | Munich   |
+----+---------+---------+----------+

If I just display the Name1 in the ComboBox, no one will know the difference between 1 and 2. Sure, I could work around by just putting them into a textfield of a DTO, separated by a dash but that will look really nasty as they won't be aligned properly.

We would highly appreciate if this component gets added as it is already in jQuery, ASP .Net Core, ASP .Net MVC, WPF and WinForms.

Thanks!

Hello!

I think it will be nice to have configurable template for ComboBoxComponent input field.

something like it is possible within grid pager comes to my mind - there is a template and building blocks that we can use

Use case:

For example, in our work we customize item template with



and our customers wish to see selected item as it is in the list, with icon and other customizations.


I have managed to do that by creating a directive that i put on <kendo-combobox>... and that inserts dynamically created icon component near the input, so that it looks same as in the options list.

But this is ugly and not easy maintainable, etc
