Hi!
I have 2 questions.

1. I can't find any documentation about textselect filed.
Main question - how to add select options.


2. How I can create text field with like select, but with ability to enter custom text?
It like select module position field.
User can choose option from list or can enter own.



Thanks.

the values will be create from values that an user has used in past to another using.

I think, what you want is "select multiple". in this field you can create values to select.

you can create the values in "field elements" in this field config. there you can find a placeholder for an example.

update:
to select multiple there is also a field with normal "select" to select one value instead multiple

Hello

- user can type new values
then after you save the item

the value that user has entered will appear in new items inside the select drop-down

But you can also "lock" the select drop-down to show only specific "pre-configured" values

Ok, got it.

How to add values in "All existing field values" mode?
I want to add values before users make it.

Next. How to display this exellent field same as in joomla module manager?


My idea is that users begin typing ingredient name and the component displays matches .

See how it works on other site:

Hello

so you suggest a new "mode" for the select drop-down ??

- some pre-configured values + all user entered values

I can use mode all user entered values in this variation - but I need to add values before.
But ideally, yes - some pre-configured values + all user entered values.
And ability to edit user entered values. I'm sure they will contains mistakes.

And very major thing - is how looks this filed.

I think in this variation - it is not intuitive and It takes a lot of space


In video above - excellent variation.

Hello

this should be little work (probably otherwise it will be pushed to more distant future)

I have made a short-term issue
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/issues/579

Finally about "field display"
- you mean the field should only be only a select drop-down with possibility to type new text ?
e.g. like the "tags" field in item form

Tags field is awesome!

Only no need to press enter. Just enter text in field. But with ability to select.

Hello

i have looked at this
work to add  2 more options

- Existing + Custom elements
- Existing + SQL query

seems trivial
i have added it (not yet at github),
but we may have some bug with it initially
will test it and commit it
