allowCustom for jquery multiselect

[Zhenglai]

I found the angular multiselect support allowCustom. Shall we add the support for it into jquery multiselect as well? https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/multiselect?_ga=2.101866886.689360971.1591642222-1109975323.1569285517

Hi Zhenglai,

I have responded to the other thread regarding the same topic. I would suggest you continue the conversation in a single thread. For convenience, I will paste my reply below as well. 

 

Thank you for reaching out.

I am afraid that Kendo for jQuery MultiSelect does not provide such configuration as allowCustom in Kendo UI for Angular.

I would suggest you take a look at the Demo linked below where adding new items to the MultiSelect widget is demonstrated. As you will see, when a non-existing value is entered, the user could add it to the MultiSelect by clicking a button. To achieve this behavior the noDataTemplate is used.

I hope you will find the provided information helpful.
