All - Except - Some

[sfolador]

Hi,
it would be nice to have a "composite" field. For example: the Bar entity has a relation with Products. Products count could be very high therefore selecting all the Products or some or all Products except some could be a very tedious task. Having some kind of "controls" before the relation dropdown list, could be really handy sometimes. So in that case I will select All, and all the Products in the dropdown will be selected. Or If I select Except, I can still choose some Products from the dropdown but when I save, it will act as a subtraction instead of linking the selected Products. Does this make sense?

Hi! I can only offer a "select all" button in the dropdown that will select all loaded items. Maybe you should reconsider your app architecture, maybe there's a better way to acomplish what you need?

Select All would be nice! Unfortunately it's not my choice, it was a request to avoid selecting too many elements (in my example, if the Product count is, say, 1000, and a Bar had to store only 400, the editor must select all 400 by hand).Thank you!
