Remote Source for list fields doesn't appear to work as at latest versions

[markusdf]

as per the demo page https://w2ui.com/web/demos/#/fields/6

the url property for list and multi list fields does not appear to work.

the demo page does not work, attempting to follow the documentation also appears to not work. On the demo page the request and load events should be logging to console, however there is nothing.

attempting to create remote data list boxes in forms also appears to have the same issue of the url property being ignored.

Looking at the code I see a lot of differences on how the search is implemented in lists and combo. The search is delegated to the tooltip menu, so it's not that easy to refactor.
I really needed this functionality so i went ahead and write some code. I added an event in the menu that is triggered on keyUp if the url is present. The w2field listens to this event alongside the listener for the select event, in updateOverlay method and if the url is specified i go ahead and get the data from server. When the data arrives I just call the update method on the menu with the new items. While the request is loading I called lock method on the menu box, to show the spinner After update i had to set the activeChain property of the menu to null and call refreshSearch and refreshIndex methods.
It kind of works now, but not tested enough.
If anyone cares about this solution please leave a comment here and I will post my solution.

according to the docs, you should be able to use the render function of the form to do it, but for me, this only works once. Once there's some data in the list, triggering it a second time doesn't work, which isn't ideal.
