Text List

Maintains a list of selected items in apple mail / facebook style, allowing fast keyboard input with autocomplete support while taking small amount of vertical space.

The field also supports drag & drop reordering:

Text List field should be a good fit for maintaining a list of tags, email addresses and such:

Configuration

The field is configured using a source field on a template, which acts as a standard Sitecore source, supporting Sitecore query, xpath or item path.

Example:

/sitecore/templates/System/Templates//*

Makes all items underneath system templates to be selectable

Usage

The field stores a pipe separated list of selected item ids, much like most Sitecore list fields, such as Multilist.

Notes and Limitations

It is not possible to add new values instead of selecting one from the list, this might be implemented in future versions. Firefox is not supported yet.

Other possible additions: display icons and item paths, better match Sitecore color theme, storing text values instead of ids. If you have strong opinions about having or not having these features, or other suggestions, please mail ar@….
