Primefaces autocomplete multiple with forceSelection false

Question

I'm using Primefaces 6.0, in which <p:autocomplete> doesn't work with multiple=true and forceSelection=false .

You can find the component below:

 <p:autoComplete value="#{bean.value} 
      multiple="true"
      completeMethod="#{bean.completeTheme}"
      forceSelection="false"/>

How can I insert a custom value not listed?

Answer 1

You can always add your inserted custom value in your complete method, like this:

public List<String> completeMethod(String query) {
    List<String> suggestions = new ArrayList();
    suggestions.add(query);

    //... add more suggestions
    return suggestions;
}
