Description Florian Best univentionstaff 2019-07-25 16:41:36 CEST
We added a SuggestionBox widget.

We should enhance the usability:
> > It would be nice if one could differentiate between the two widgets, e.g. by
> > not showing the drop down icon but autocomplete values when typing.
> 
> Once upon a time there was an OS / PL where they were distinguished by some
> space between the "text box" and the "drop-down button":
> - w/o the space it was a filtering selection list
> - with the space either an item from the list could be selected or some free
> text could be entered in the text box.
> 
> Rather subtile but it worked back than.
> 
> <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/uxguide/ctrl-drop>

We should integrate/use the widget in UDM:
> > Users:
> > * Mail home server ? (is currently a dynamic fixed list)
> > * Windows home drive
> 
> NFS home share - at least customer 00026 uses the UCRV to change the syntax
> from "WritableShare" to "string" to be able to user their external NFS
> storage system.

> * Services for Computer objects? (are currently a fixed dynamic list)

Bug #49695

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #48811 +++

The referenced 3 bugs are examples, where a ComboBox is used to show the administrator some values to pick from, but
- either it should be allowed to select no entry (or the empty entry)
- enter other values by hand as the list of provided values is not complete.

We should have such a native widget.
