  • Knockout support – esp. ComboBox #12880

    I noticed that the recent release did not include any enhancements or fixes for the knockout.js support. I was hoping in particular for some additional support for ComboBox since the current [source 1=”disabled,” 2=”selectedIndex” language=”,”][/source] attributes are really not sufficient to data bind a control designed to allow the user to either select from the list or type in a new value.

    The DropdownList widget could also benefit from a supported “value” or “text” attribute as some people are adverse to using code lists in their database (i.e. data binding to the selectedIndex) for list-based fields. They would rather post full text values.

    I know I could get at the text programmatically but it sure would be nice to data bind directly to a text field.

    Hi Ron,

    We will consider enhancing the Knockout integration in the future versions. There are fixes regarding the Knockout integration in version 2.6 as you can see in the Release History.

    Best Regards,

    OIC… didn’t think to search for likely abbreviations of knockout. Thanks, Peter.

    I would also REALLY like to see this enhancement. It really is useless to bind to an index – the index of a selected value may change over time; the value itself will remain constant.
