how to let the user paste multi value into search box

hi

one of the filter in my dashboard is ID.

my user's request is the ability to insert many ids and not select one by one .

i try to use input box , but it is not working via Ajax.

Is there another way ?

thank you

If I'm not mistaken, you can enter multiple values in a search box by separating them with a vertical bar, e.g.

  A|B|C

or

  (A|B|C)

hope I understand your question

with listbox you can search multiple values in a single search, see the doc in the link

with listbox you can add new id to those previously selected by using the CTRL + Enter instead of Enter

Yes, IMHO the search box will stop accepting values whenever a NewLine is encountered. In theory this means you are entering an incomplete expression (no right parenthesis)

When I copy your list into a listbox search field, or in a search object, I get nothing at all.

Create a listbox for ID. Click on the search icon in the listbox caption. This will open a search entry textbox. Enter or paste your list of IDs you want to search for, using the syntax given earlier, eg (A|B|C)
