Forms Support

You can use the MultiSelect in template-driven or reactive forms, and within a FormField.

The component accepts values of the complex (objects) or the primitive (strings, numbers, or other) type. To specify the value type, set the valuePrimitive property. By default, it is set to false.

Template-Driven Forms

The template-driven forms enable you to bind the MultiSelect to the model by using the ngModel directive.

The following example demonstrates how to accomplish a two-way data binding by using the ngModel directive. The model field is a complex value.

Managing the MultiSelect Disabled State in Reactive Forms

To disable the MultiSelect component when working with reactive forms and Angular 15 or later, use the FormControl's disabled property/option or disable() method.

Angular 15 introduces a breaking change affecting the synchronization of setDisabledState with the model-DOM. This impacts components using the disabled attribute. As a result, the disabled property of the Kendo UI for Angular components used prior to Angular 15 is no longer working in reactive forms.
