Replace values in single-item selection

[nuno-agostinho]

Selectize.js is great even for single-item selection. The problem is that after the user has selected the item, s/he needs to delete the selected item and start typing to search from the beginning. I think it would be more intuitive if the "deletion" step wasn't needed.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click selectize input box
2. Type a few letters

Expected result: Delete the selected item and search the available items.

Actual result: Nothing happens, since step 2 is actually "delete selected item" and only step 3 is "type a few letters"

Note that Select2 behaves this way, to see a concrete example.

This solution might be late but it might be of help to someone. This will reopen the textbox for edit and select all the text when the use focuses on the element.

var select = $('select[name=\"$name\"]').selectize({}); var selectizeControl = select[0].selectize selectizeControl.on('focus', function() { var value = selectizeControl.getItem(selectizeControl.getValue()).text(); selectizeControl.clear(); //remove selected item selectizeControl.setTextboxValue(value); //re-populate search input $('input[type=select-one]').select(); });
