Multiselect filter and autoClose=false

[Emir Prcic]

Hi,

Need some help with this use-case. I have server side filtering, and when filtering the dataset I want to select multiple items at once. But the problem is, that the list is reseting after selecting one item in the filtered list, after that the data set is called again but with initial state(10 default items) as the "filter text" is cleared and sends empty string to my API.

Here an simplified example on StackBlitz, were you can type "large" and select one of the values. ( in the example I also tried something with the isOpen isClosed events)

Does someone has an idea, if this is possible at all.

Thanks

Hi Emir,

Thank you for the provided feedback.

I am afraid that the desired behavior cannot be achieved, using the current API. The experienced issue comes from the fact that when the MultiSelect value is updated, the filter is cleared.

Our development team is aware of this behavior, that is why there is an enhancement reported logged in our public GitHub repository that can be tracked at the following link

https://github.com/telerik/kendo-angular/issues/2145

I checked with the assigned developers on this case if we can suggest some temporary fix. I understand that this may be disappointing but at this point, there isn't a workaround that we can suggest. The issue should be fixed within the component. Thus, I would suggest tracking the status of the GitHub issue for any future updates on it.

Accept our apologies for all the inconvenience caused while the issue is still present.
