Let’s say I have a DateField where I want to let users enter any date, but also want to provide a dropdown of common dates. Is there a way to do this?
Some kind of combination of DateField and ComboBox? I’m not sure what kinds of exact widgets and user interactions you had in mind, but I suppose
- there’s no exact out of the box functionality like that
- all of the necessary pieces should be available
- because of 2), such a component would be implementable as a [custom client-side component]
(https://vaadin.com/docs/v8/framework/clientside/clientside-widget.html) mostly by scavenging existing pieces of code - it might also be possible to do a server-side [
CustomFieldcomposition]
(https://vaadin.com/docs/v8/framework/components/components-customfield.html) to achieve the functionality, but there you have less control over the final client-side behavior

CustomField worked perfectly, BTW, and was quite simple.
