Dropdown field binding issue

[avair]

Below is the javascript function which i am using to bind values to the dropdown using ddlCou.innerText = option.text; only the last option is getting displayed as a label but i need to have a dropdown functionality with select at first and remaining all values which are in result[i]


function loadCountriesDropDown() {
var ddlCou = document.getElementById('ddlCountriesId');
var countyStates = [];
for (var i = 0; i < data.List.length; i++) {
countyStates.push(data.List[i].Name);
}
var result = countyStates.map(function (obj) { return obj.Name; });
result = result.filter(function (v, i) { return result.indexOf(v) == i; });
for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
var option = document.createElement("option");
option.text = result[i];
ddlCou.innerText = option.text;
}
}


<ext:ComponentColumn runat="server">
<Items>
<ext:DropDownField runat="server" ID="ddlCountriesId" ClientIDMode="Static"></ext:DropDownField>
</Items>
</ext:ComponentColumn>

Hello, @avair!

The DropDownField component is meant to display a complex component as the dropdown box, so it doesn't really handle multiple data, the underlying component "picker" does. Take a look at its overview example: Form > Dropdown Field > Overview (https://examples5.ext.net/#/Form/DropDownField/Overview/)

Perhaps what you need is a read-only combo box? Or a searchable combo box which requires a valid selection from the list of accepted entries? Take a look at this example: Form > Combo Box > Ajax Linked Combos (https://examples5.ext.net/#/Form/ComboBox/Ajax_Linked_Combos/) for it has both examples mentioned, respectively.

Hope this helps!
