maximumSelectionLength issue with tokenSeparators on created tags

[akoury]

maximumSelectionLength is being ignored when i use the tags: true option, i can create as many tags as a i want while separating them through the characters i specified in the tokenSeparators, therefore it ignores the limit.

This is a bug, and I thought there was already a ticket about it. But I can't find one, so this will remain open until it's fixed, or until the duplicate comes up.

Any fix for this yet?

My workaround if anyone need it is to check $('.select2-selection__choice').length before returning a tag in createTag

Hello! I overwrite tokenizer function for paste from clipboard.
But select2 (multiple) ignore maximumSelectionLength directive.

I can acces to this value in overwrited tokenizer via this.maximumSelectionLength
But I cannot access to count of current selected values.

Could you tell me how to do it?

A lot of hurts, but it works =)

cnt = null; this.current(function (selected) { cnt = selected.length; });
if( this.maximumSelectionLength < cnt ) {
// 'You can only select ' + self.maximumSelectionLength + ' item'
}
