Editable dropdownbyindex

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement where one of the columns in my table is a dropdownbyindex UI element. This dropdown is populated with values from backend. But the issue is, the user should be able to either select from the dropdown or enter new values to the dropdown. I know this is not possible with the dropdownbyindex UIElement. Could anybody give me some suggestions on how to accomplish this task?

Replies are very much appreciated.

Thank You

Laxmi,

Try to use InputField + OVS instead of DropDown.

See description of similar technique here: https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/3309. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]

Warning: this will be quite complex and please don't copy technique blindly while your case is slightly different
