New multi checkbox filter in grids

[Noah]

Maybe i'm missing it in the docs, but is there a way to set an object list with a text/value fields in the filter?  Or a way to pass in a function that would be used to compute the displayed text?

We use a variation of the multi-select option custom filter from one of your knowledgebase articles and it allows this.  We'd rather just use the new baked in one since it looks nicer and you'll probably keep it updated and improve upon it... but we have many filtered grid columns where the actual value is a code and the displayed text is converted to something human readable.  The labels in the filter list need to be also human readable.

Hi Noah,

The developer can only specify a specific set of data that can be present in the checkbox filtering, which is demonstrated in the following article:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/filtering/multi-checkbox-filter#custom-filter-data

This approach filters the data specifically by that value. It seems you want to change the displayed name while filtering by a different value. This is not currently supported and using the custom approach would be needed.

What I can additionally suggest is submitting a feature request in our feedback portal, explaining your use case and how the functionality could be improved. Feedback is especially valuable as this feature is fairly new.
