Combobox component

Level: beginner

Use the Combobox component to add the lookup type field that has extended customization features. For example, create a record directly from the lookup type field. Before you use the component, make sure that the viewModelConfig schema section includes the attribute bound to the Combobox component.

                    "path": "PDS.Title"
                },
                "name": "SomeAttribute"
            }
        }
    }
}
