Description Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2019-02-27 18:02:24 CET 
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.
Comment 1 Florian Best univentionstaff 2019-02-27 18:06:30 CET 
Yes, we absolutely need this!
Comment 2 Florian Best univentionstaff 2019-04-15 11:12:40 CEST 
Patch in branch fbest/48811-combobox.
Comment 3 Florian Best univentionstaff 2019-04-15 13:59:20 CEST 
Where else could we apply this widget?

Users:
* Mail home server ? (is currently a dynamic fixed list)
* Windows home drive

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.

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.

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.

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