Grid: allow user to enter value other than Dropdown list

[Sao]

Hi,

I have enabled a dropdownedit for control to ease the input of the user. However, dropdownlist does not allow value that is not in the field. How do I allow users to enter values that are not in the list?

Hi SAM,

Thanks for your patience.

We have the Custom Value option in ComboBox and Multiselect Dropdown Component. In DropDownList we don’t have the Custom Value option. We suggest you try ComboBox instead of Dropdown Component. Because both components have similar functionalities. Also, We shared the sample and documentation link of the ComboBox component. Please let us know if you face any complexity in the use of the ComboBox Component.

Sample Link: https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/combobox/custom-value?theme=fluent

Documentation (CustomValue for ComboBox) : https://blazor.syncfusion.com/documentation/combobox/custom-value

To use this in the Grid column while editing, we suggest you to render the ComboBox in the EditTemplate feature to achieve this above requirement.

Please let us know if you have any concerns.
