I'd like to be able to select multiple consecutive items by SHIFT + CLICK

In Angular we want to lazy initiate the options of a multiselect. After angular loads the multiselect directive, the control does not react on changing the k-options variable. If I recall, it should be solved when the control supports the setOptions method, like Kendo UI Grid.

When using the Multiselect with Javascript Api in following order:

- Disable

- Select

- Enable

The Multiselect Control is enabled, but the Items are still disabled and therefore cannot be removed by the X.

Can be reproduced in the official demo (see Screenshot): https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/multiselect/api

Bug report

MultiSelect e.preventDefault() does not work in change event when selecting/deselecting items with Ctrl+A or Chift+Arrow

Reproduction of the problem

• Run the following Dojo: https://dojo.telerik.com/unEhoVAS/3
• Click in the MS input
• Press CTRL+A - all items will be selected

Expected/desired behavior

No items should be selected as e.preventDefault() is called in the select event.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2021.1.330
• Browser: [all ]

There is no way to sort the selected items inside the MultiSelect. 

It would be nice to have such functionality implemented or provide an implementation that can achieve the described functionality.

Bug report

MultiSelect doesn't focus the first suggested item of the popup

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open this Dojo
2. Make sure it has at least 2 values set on initialization
3. Write some text until the popup opens with some suggestions

Current behavior

The first suggestion of the popup is not focused as expected.

Expected/desired behavior

The first suggestion should be focused.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2020.3.1118 or later
• Browser: [all]

Currently, the relation between the MultiSelect input and its TagList element (the one that holds the selected items) is established with an aria-describedby attribute. That results in the screen readers to report the selection (all selected items) as one line of text which doesn't adequately describe the control or and its context. The text of each selected item is announced but it is not clear how many items are selected. Also, there is no articulation between each item text that is announced.

Consider and implement better relation/structure, so that the context of the widget (the selected items and their number) is announced clearly.

Similarly to the feedback listed in https://feedback.telerik.com/kendo-jquery-ui/1560733-multiselect-keyboard-events-bubble-although-already-handled#:~:text=The%20approach%20described%20in%20order%20to%20prevent%2Foverwrite%20the,well%3A%20kendo.ui.MultiSelect.fn._keydown%20%3D%20function%28e%29%20%7B%20e.preventDefault%20%28%29%20%7D%3B

I am exploring using a multiselect box within a window.  If I choose to not allow the multiselect to autoClose, hitting the escape key will close the multiselect, but the event will continue to bubble up and will close the window.  Ideally, the multiselect should close its panel, but the window it is embedded on should not.

One solution to this problem is to add a handler for the close event on the window, however there is currently no way to determine if the close event is being triggered by clicking the close button on the window, or from an escape character (e.userTriggered does not go far enough to differentiate).  I would like the user to be able to click the close button manually to close the dialog, but not necessarily use the keyboard Escape key.  See:  https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/window/events/close

The following solution as mentioned in the feedback link above, can be used to stop the propagation of the Escape key globally, but this then breaks all other keyboard actions (which is bad from a usability standpoint).  Is there any way to add this functionality?  From looking at the source (which we have as part of our subscription), simply adding e.stopPropagation() when responding to the ESC key in the _keydown function of kendo.multiselect.js would be enough to fix this issue.

kendo.ui.MultiSelect.fn._keydown = function (e) {
   if (e.which === 27) {
      e.stopPropagation();
   }
}

Thanks.

Hi Team,

I would like to request a built-in functionality to have the Kendo UI MultiSelect to select and deselect all items.  Perhaps a checkbox or specific button within would be great.

Thank you!

Hi Team,

I would like to request being able to add new items into the MultiSelect and saving them per user.  

It has become clear that while this control allows a user to add custom entries not currently in the pre-defined list, it appears they can't later be loaded, like when a user saves choices, including custom entries.

I've never seen a scenario where a user enters input into a control and later doesn't need to see what they enter (saved to a Db).

Therefore, the MultiSelect demo which allows you to add custom entries, but can't later display them represents an unrealistic scenario and I recommend at least adding a caveat to the page informing developers planning to use that feature of this limitation.

I like the MultiSelect and use it in many places, but since the custom add feature won't support common usage (later display what they type), I recommend this feature not be displayed as a demo until it's ready.

For example, it should accept as a property a string, delimited by commas, custom entries.

It would then iterate through custom entries and where it doesn't match, add them for you.

Thank you.

Editor components like the pickers, textboxes, etc. use an internal <input> element while submitting to get their value from. This value shows up in form.serialize() even when no value selected/provided.

Bug report

If you filter the MultiSelect and then blur it, a read request occurs that retrieves all the data. Then, if you open the MultiSelect, another read request triggers with the same data as response

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Server Filtering Demo - https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/multiselect/serverfiltering
2. Open the DevTools network tab and type some text to filter the data, e.g. "Cha"
3. Select an item from the filtered data and blur the input - a read request occurs that returns the entire data.
4. Open the MultiSelect again - the same read request with the same data occurs.

Current behavior

Duplicated read request occurs when you blur and reopen the MultiSelect

Expected/desired behavior

No duplicated read requests should occur.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.3.1109
• Browser: [all]

Bug report

Currently, the MultiSelect input does not have a placeholder attribute in its rendering. This leads to inconsistency with the other input components such as AutoComplete and ComboBox.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Dojo example and inspect the rendering of the two components.

Current behavior

Currently, the MultiSelect 'input.k-input-inner' element does not have a placeholder attribute. As a consequence, the color of the placeholder is slightly different than the rest of the input widgets.

Expected/desired behavior

The MultiSelect widgets should have a placeholder attribute in order to be consistent with the rest of the widgets such as AutoComplete and ComboBox

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.2.510

Bug report

When there are items selected in the MultiSelect and the close icon is clicked the popup is opened for a moment

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Demo - https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/multiselect/index
2. Click the close icon in the first MultiSelect

Current behavior

The popup is opened for a moment

Expected/desired behavior

The popup should not get opened unexpectedly.

The issue is a regression introduced in 2022.1.412 version with the following commit - telerik/kendo@7953a90

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.2.512
• Browser: [all ]

Bug report

Reproduction of the problem

Dojo example.

1. Type in "f" in the MultiSelect's input area. It is filtered and shows 2 items in the list.
2. Press "Ctrl + A" keys. The two items are selected.
3. Clear the text in the input. The list is populated with all items in the dataSource.
4. Press "Ctrl + A" keys again

Current behavior

All items are selected, but the first two ("Chai and Chang") are not highlighted as selected.

Expected/desired behavior

All items should be selected and highlighted as selected.

Environment

Hello dear support,

I ve a strange behavior that I may qualify as bug.

I ve tried to reproduce here https://dojo.telerik.com/osEPIvOG wit a result shown in this animated gif here attached (DPSN-13445).

Basically what's happening is that if your are selecting / clearing elements that looked to be in different pages (view), the dataItems() function does not return the correct value, but some previous item.

This "bug" is always reproducible;

Please let me know if there is a bad implementation (I m using here basic Telerik sample) or if there is a workaround, or if I can expect a fix;

By advance thx for your swift reply.

Bug report

When an empty array is passed to the MultiSelect's value method inside the deselect event, the item that is deselected remains selected in the MultiSelect.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open this Dojo and run it
2. Expand MultiSelect's popup list and click on "All" item.

Current behavior

The different MultiSelect items are deselected except for the "All" item.

*If the "if" statement is removed from the deselect event function in the Dojo, and only the 'e.sender.value([]);' is kept, the issue is reproducing no matter of the selected item in MultiSelect's popup.

Expected/desired behavior

Calling 'e.sender.value([]);' should remove all items selected in the MultiSelect.
Click on the "Clear values" button to see the expected behavior.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 201x.r.ddd
• jQuery version: x.y

Hi,

We are using the Kendo Multi Select widget, and it was just reported that you can't remove a tag from the list when clicking on the Close (X) icon when using Safari on iPadOS 13.1.3. I was also able to reproduce this on the multiselect demo here - https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/multiselect/index. We are currently on version 2019.2.619, however I also tried it on the latest with the demo and it also didn't seem to work.

Is this a known defect? 

Thanks,

Emily
