Filter multiple fields

[Janos]

Is there a way to enable the multi-select widget to filter more than one field?

Let's say we want to filter data like the following:

var data = [
  {
    name: "ABC",
    city: "City1",
    id: 123
  },
  {
    name: "DEF",
    city: "City2",
    id:456
  }
];

The dataTextField is "id" as well as the dataValueField:

$scope.selectOptions = {
      dataTextField: "id",
      dataValueField: "id",
      valuePrimitive: true,
      autoBind: false,
      tagMode: "single",
      filter: "contains",
      filtering: function(e) {
        // magic here?
        }
      },
      dataSource: {
        transport: {
          read: function(options) {
            //get data
            });
          }
        }
      }
    };

How can I achieve that the multi-select suggestions show all items which field values contain the letter "D"?

Hi Janos,

This behavior is not supported out of the box. You could however, use server-side filtering, which will allow you to apply the filtering criteria to any field necessary.
