The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

user_editable

Boolean. If true, the combo field will allow the user to enter arbitrary text in addition to selecting an existing item from the list. Defaults to false.

type_filter

Boolean. If true, the combo field will allow the user to type in arbitrary text to filter the list of results. Defaults to false unless user_editable is true.

min_type_filter_chars

Setting passed to the 'minChars' ExtJS combo config. Defaults to '0' which causes filter/query to fire with every user ketstroke. For large tables where matching on as little as a single character will be too slow, or to reduce the number/rate of queries fired, set this to a higher value.

auto_complete

Boolean. True to enable 'typeAhead' in the ExtJS combo, meaning that text from the filtered results will be auto-completed in the box. This only makes sense when type_filter is on and will auto enable filter_match_start. This is an "unfeature" (very annoying) if used inappropriately. Defaults to false.

filter_match_start

Boolean. True for the LIKE query generated for the type_filter to match only the start of the display column. This defaults to true if auto_complete is enabled because it wouldn't make sense otherwise.
