Allow fill in choice?

How to implement allow fill in choice where user can specify a value like SharePoint?

I can see under setupKoVar that it is setting koObj._isFillInChoice but I don't see any other usages of it?

My idea is that when the modelValue is populated, I want to set a field for that otherOption to be shown in the template which I have done. At a first look I am thinking of comparing this.modelValue and this.options, and whatever is not in the list options, then set that one as the otherOption field.

This feature is on the TODO list. It hasn’t yet been implemented due to level of complexity for the time being.

You can work around by created a text column ‘MyFieldNameOther’. If the selected option is ‘Other’, display the ‘MyFieldNameOther’ field, requiring input.

Example:

1. You have a SP choice field named ‘Language’; Include an option for “Other"
2. Set up a second SP text field, ‘LanguageOther’

Markup:

<so-select-field params=“val: Language, caption: ‘—Select an Language--’, required: true"></so-select-field>

<!— ko if: Language() == ‘Other' —>
    <so-text-field params=“val: LanguageOther, required: true"></so-text-field>
<!— /ko —>

There are other ways to accomplish the same thing such as ‘pushing’ the new option to Language._options -

vm.Language._options().push(’some new option’);
vm.Language._options.valueHasMutated(); // let Knockout know to update the display options
