Veluelist managment

Postby marco.rossi » Tue Nov 22, 2016 12:04 pm

Hi all,

I need to use a valuelist with more than 500 items to let the user to get suggestion on data just typing on the textfield.
Does exist a property to set this?

thanks

Use a typeahead field. Once the user starts typing, it will filter entries according to what is typed.

Thank you for your reply Patrick.

I'm already using typeahead field but my problem is that to get the "suggestion", a valuelist has to be linked to the field
and this valuelist has more than 500 entries. Because of that, I get a truncated list.

Does the valuelist reload its occurrences while the user is typing according on what is entered on the typeahead?

you get that warning for any value list, but a type ahead reloads the list every time the user types a letter. That's the whole point of it ;-).

There is also a ui property you use to increase the limit to max 1000 UICONSTANTS-VALUELIST_MAX_ROWS
