[LWC] Can we change Name field type to Dropdown?

[sourav-developer]

Hello Bryntum Team,

Is it possible to change the Name field type from Text to Drop Down, so that we can select values from existing value set?

[Animal]

Just so I understand, you want the name of events to be only selectable from a provided list of event names?

I can work up a Codepen which illustrates this is that is the requirement.

It's s simple as this: https://codepen.io/Animal-Nige/pen/MWMjgNw?editors=0010

Thank You Animal, I'll start working on this

@Animal I've opened another thread yesterday. Can you please give me some Documentation ref?

That seems to indicate that you don't want to use the event editor at all. And this thread is about using the event editor but customising it to fit your needs.

the event editor can always be finely configured to fit your needs.

Hello Animal,

Yes, This thread is about a Work Around I was thinking of, which I'll try.

The Reason why I want to use Custom Component is because of
(a) field complexity (Cascading Drop-Down through multiple Server Side callout) on the Edit form, and
(b) Lightning Web Security by which the Performance can be affected.

There's a whole docs section about replacing the event editor: https://bryntum.com/products/calendar/docs/guide/Calendar/customization/replaceeventedit

The key is returning false from a beforeEventEdit event listener to inhibit the native edit from taking place,

From then on you are on your own. Kick off your own editing from that handler.

But cascading combos are reasonably easy using the provided widgets. Easier than all other places I have seen it tried.
