Question
Is it possible to create a multi-select lookup from entity metadata in Freedom UI?
09:33 Jan 07, 2026
Hello ,
I am working on a Freedom UI modal page where I need to display entity schema metadata (field list) and allow the user to select two or more fields from that metadata.
Requirement
- Source data is entity metadata (not business records)
- User should be able to select multiple fields
- Selection should be limited strictly to the metadata values
- The control should remain interactive (not fully disabled)
What I have tried
crt.DataGridwith multi-row selection (facing stability/UX limitations)- Custom HTML / repeater components (not supported in Freedom UI)
crt.Inputwithcontrol: "multiSelect"readonly: true→ control becomes fully lockedenabled: false→ selection not possible
Questions
- Is it supported to create a multi-select lookup or multi-select input whose options come from entity schema metadata in Freedom UI?
- What is the recommended pattern to:
- prevent free text entry
- allow only selection from predefined metadata values
- support selecting multiple values
- Are there any OOTB components or best practices for metadata-driven selection in Freedom UI?
Any guidance or recommended approach would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
