Hi Team,
I need to create a custom component like 'input-field with button' (img 1). On clicking the button, a modal will be shown, user can select multiple or all option & selected values will be displayed in input field.
On Clicking 'Select Owner' button, a modal is opened to select records to show in 'Multi-Owner' field. (img 2)
For now, Above functionality is done through the code. For this I referred article
Invoking a Multi-Select Lookup Dialog on a Creatio Freedom UI Page | Customer FX
But I want to create a custom component that reside in 'component' or 'widget' of Page-Designer (Left hand side). So that we can use that component using drag-drop approach like any other tool such as Button, Bar etc.

This would be nice to be able to do in this way, but I think currently the only way is to build a custom Angular component by following this documentation: https://academy.creatio.com/docs/8.x/dev/development-on-creatio-platform/front-end-development/freedom-ui/remote-module/implement-a-remote-module/overview
Or you can create a Classic UI component (Ext.js) and add that to a Freedom UI page via the page code, as seen in this documentation: https://academy.creatio.com/docs/8.x/dev/development-on-creatio-platform/front-end-development/freedom-ui/remote-module/implement-a-custom-component/overview
I haven't done either of these before, as they seem quite involved for the benefits (you would need fairly consistent use cases I expect for it to be reusable without significant development) but those are the only options currently that I know of.
Hi Harvey,
Can we implement the above functionality on cloud instance, or is it only possible on a local instance?
The information by Harvey is the way to do this - you can create a custom component for both local and cloud systems. You can see a walk through creating a custom component using Clio/Clio explorer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE5uETqTsyQ&list=PLnolcTT5TeE2BMFf_XmJrSwpnbcLCLJkb&index=1
However, just to point out, there is now a multiselect component that is available in 8.2.1 and higher that might fit your needs. See https://customerfx.com/article/using-the-new-multiselect-control-in-creatio-8-2-1-and-higher/

An important thing to mention is that seemingly (there was a community article I can't find anymore) there is currently no way to add a properties page to your custom component, which makes the whole use case of "a dev creates components and a no-code-creator uses and configures them" obsolete...
Robert Pordes,
That’s frustrating, so the only way you’d be able to configure the custom component would be through the page code then? What do you see in the properties panel in Page Designer for the custom component as it stands?
This is true, for custom components, you see this in the properties pane:
To set any properties of the custom component, you have to edit the code to add the properties there. This might be the thread Robert was thinking of: https://community.creatio.com/questions/there-any-way-create-ui-custom-…
