Advanced Select (Remote Data, Tags): Fetch More Data on Scroll

[akhayyat]

Summary

When using advanced select with remote data and tags, the user cannot scroll through the data. They must search to get any data other than what's initially loaded.

Detailed Description

When using advanced select tags with large remote data, the widget initially loads a small portion of the data, e.g. "apiQuery": "limit=20" loads only 20 items.

The user cannot see any other data unless they search for something.

Similar select-with-search widgets (e.g. select2) usually allow exploring the data by scrolling through it and dynamically replacing the visible data without the user having to search for anything in particular. Select 2 calls this feature "pagination".

It'd be really great if pagination, or updating the shown data on scroll, can be added to the advanced select widget when used with remote data.

Use Cases

Use the advanced select widget with large remote data.
