Customize fields dropdownlist inside the Vue data tools filter

[Jamie]

For the data tools filter is it possible to customize the dropdownlist component that is used to display the list of fields assigned to the :fields prop? I have followed the  documentation for customizing the editors used for the fields input values , using slots, which works well. However I wanted to add the "filterable" attribute to the fields dropdown list as we have a large number of fields in the list and it would be good to be able to filter the list via a searchbox.

Hi Jamie,

With the current implementation of the Filter component it is not possible to set custom DropDownList for the fields. However, I do agree that in scenario with many filters, enabling the filtering for the DropDownList would be beneficial and I would suggest login a feature request in our public feedback portal where other developers can vote for the feature and increase its priority:

Meanwhile, the only solution that I can suggest is to add an external input component that using its value, filter the "fields" collection passed to the Filter component based on that input, which will limit the number of fields. However, this will apply the filter to the entire component, so it will not be an ideal solution.
