AutoComplete with free text

[kailashthiyagar]

Do we have any component through which we achieve autocomplete option along with free texting? What i refer is, if we type in some value, it will show suggestion from the table and if the value doesnt available in the table, it will accept the value?

To my knowledge, there is no ready made component available, i guess. Are there   any other means through which we can achieve this? If so, can someone pls provide an example?

Yes, this can be done. On the reference field dictionary item, there is a field called "Dynamic creation". It is used for tables when you create a new reference field to a new table that does not yet exist. Here's an example:

ctomasi , but in my case, i have an existing table with a set of values., When the user enters in the control(textbox or whatever), it needs to check against the value in the table and if not present, it has to accept the value..

Is it possible

Same concept, slightly different values in the dictionary entry. When you specify your reference field to your existing table, check the Dynamic creation field and see what happens when someone enters a value that doesn't currently exist. If you want to add additional attributes to the new record, use the Dynamic creation script field.
