To disable popup in the multiselect component

[Saarah]

I am not able to remove the drop down from the multi select component. Is there any other way I can achieve its functionality.

Hello Saarah,

If the desired functionality is to allow users to enter custom values without opening the Popup, this is not supported out-of-the-box for the reasons described in the following GitHub issue:

https://github.com/telerik/kendo-angular/issues/1280

You can use the popupSettings option to provide zero height to the Popup and the listHeight option to provide 0 height to the list of options:

I hope this helps, but if you are looking for a different behavior, please describe the desired functionality and behavior in further details, so I can try to provide more relevant suggestions if available. Thank you in advance.
