  Hi
  
  I opened the InputIntro solution from the sample and tried and changed the MultiAutoComplete to [isEditable]=“true”, but this has no effect. Is this not supported for this control?
  
  With the editable mode I would excpect that if I enter a value not existing in the item source collection and press enter, that this value would then be added to the input field and look like as a value from the source collection list.
  
  Is this Feature planned?

  Regards,
  
  Roman

  Hi Roman,
  
  As you know isEditable property allows to set Control’s text which is not present in itemsSource array. The same is in MultiAutoComplete control and value can be accessed using text property that is not present in itemsSource.
  
  As per your requirement, you would like to show the text in Control same as other items those are present in itemsSource. We would like to hear comments from you on following:
  
  The user can enter multiple items by pressing item. Now, the main problem will be to get those items since these items can not be added to itemsSource and selectedItem (it requires an object). Please share your comment on this.

  Thanks,

  Hi

  What I’m looking for is basically, an auto complete box which allows new items, created on the fly. Examples for that you see often with tags for blogs/wiki pages. A live example of such an input you can find here: http://www.buompris.co/ng2-tag-input/ with the title “Tags within an autocomplete component”. In this example if you press p, then “Typescript” appears as suggestion. If you type “powershell” and press enter, “powershell” is displayed.

  Do you support this behavior?

  Regards,
  
  Roman

  Hi Roman,
  
  Thank you for additional information.
  
  We are sorry, currently, this feature is not supported. Hence, we have created an enhancement request for the same with tracking id 275134. If will be included in the future releases if it is found feasible.

  Thanks,

  Hi,
  
  I’m very unhappy to hear that. It seems to be your standard answer. It is the 3rd feature now, which we would need in our project, all basic things (this, optgroup in the combobox and html template in the treeview). Every time the same answer!
  
  And then this great internal number 275134 which is not useful at all, as we don’t see how the state is and whether it will be implemented once at all.
  
  Sorry to say so, but I’m extremely disappointed about your product!

  Roman

  Hello Roman,
  
  We got notification for the case #275134, for adding the item that is not present in the itemsSource, you need to handle keyDown event and push the item into selectedItems array on Enter key press. After this, do validate control to show newly added item.

  For your reference, please refer to the attached sample that implements the same.

  In addition, please let us know the forum thread [optgroup in the combobox and html template in the treeview] those are escalated.

  Thanks,
