Make select box editable

[ImranAhmed]

Hi,

I am trying to use the select in (non-multi mode). I want the user to be able to either select a value from the dropdown or specify their own value. I've had a look at the Creatable option, it's a bit buggy (see: #1256) and it still seems like too much work to just make the select box editable. I also do not want the custom value to appear in the dropdown menu as it does with the Creatable option. Has anyone come across an easy way you can do this? Thanks.

Hey guys, what is the status?

[philipp-sorin]

@agirton any ideas?

[philipp-sorin]

@ibudisteanu No way for me(and I don't like vue) :)

@philipp-sorin We don't plan on support this feature for 1.0. We will consider this after. @ibudisteanu this comment is not helpful to this issue, removing.

@agirton are we planning to have this feature? I would be happy to create a PR :)

The current implementation of Creatable in v2 does this by default. As long as you do not add the new value to the options list, the value should not appear as a selection in the dropdown.

The example in the documentation shows that it works that way.
