Smart filter value help disable validation

[former_member493144]

Hello,

I created a service based on a CDS view and used it to create a worklist app with a smart filter bar and smart table. I also used annotations to add value helps. My problem is that for some filters I want the user to be able to filter on values of their choosing, even if the Value Help doesn't return these values. Right now if a value is entered that is not returned from the service, the field's state becomes an Error state and the message "Invalid entry" appears.

How do I prevent this?

Thanks,

Hi,
try to use a custom search field as input field with suggestion.

You will find an example:

Hello Thorsten,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried to avoid creating a custom filter as that would mean that I have to recreate the value help dialog from scratch.
