Laravel Backpack select2_from_ajax_multiple with support to add new records

Question

Is there an easy way to use select2_from_ajax_multiple or similar nn relation field in Laravel Backpack which will support also creating new records if they do not exist?

What I am trying to achieve is tags functionality, but without the need to go to the other model to define new tags and so on.

There's no such functionality built-in, no. There's a long talk about why a general solution is more complicated than it seems. It's a feature that Backpack most certainly will have, but it will probably be in Backpack 4, not the current one.

I'm afraid you're going to have to create a custom field type starting from select2_from_ajax_multiple if you want this functionality now.
