Description

Input fields that permit multiple discrete inputs are implemented in a number of unique ways throughout Constellation. It would help with promoting code readability and the overall UX if all of these instances could be enabled by a single component.

In PR #1869 some simple input fields that permit multiple discrete inputs were captured in the new Core Utility component MultiChoiceInputField. This field enabled users to select multiple inputs in a CheckComboBox style input field as well as enable bulk selection options such as "Select All" and "Clear All" in a ContextMenu or a selection options MenuButton.

Ideally this MultiChoiceInputField should be built upon / adapted / or replaced to provide functionality for input fields that permit multiple discrete inputs.

Known instances include:

• ErrorReportView - Report Settings DropDown
• TimelineView - Source/Destination/Transaction Filter
• MapView - Various Toolbar Inputs

Hello @capricornunicorn123, thank you for your interest in our work! If you have a question about using Constellation then please have a read of our Quick Start Guide. If you are a developer then it is advised to go through the Developer Training Guide. Note: We have already migrated to NetBeans 12, however the examples in the training guide still reference NetBeans 8.2. We are working on a new version so just bear that in mind.
