select2-component Allow custom/new value

Hi, is it possible to allow the user to keep his search-phrase as a new value, if it is not available yet? thanks

You mean in search input, you press Enter, the current search text is added as a new option?

That or that the text is kept for further processing upon pressing the save button

You can try to listen search event and store search text, when you click you save button, just add the search text as a new option.

You can try to enable keepSearchText property.

keepSearchText will not do the job. If I intercept keydown and check for ev.code === "Enter" and add a new item and set the value etc. it works, but then if a user selects an existing item it won't. So I also need to listen to the update event. But then right after the keydown event does it's job, a "random" list item is being chosen and the update event is fired, overwriting the manual selection
