Reply To: multi-input possibly having more than one item per line

Hi edwardsmarkff,

Unfortunately by the default this functionality is not supported by the MultiInput component, but there are two options that may be suitable for you.

Option #1:
Set the DropDownHeight proprety of the component to ‘auto’. This will result in a drop down menu with height calculated by the number of items in it and it doesn’t have a scrollbar.

Option #2:
I have prepared a code snippet for this option and is similar to the functionality that you need:

    input.dropDownWidth = '700';
    input.dropDownHeight= 'auto'
    
    input.addEventListener('click', ( )=> {
        let dropdownMenu = document.querySelector('.smart-input-drop-down-menu');

        if (dropdownMenu != null) {
            let allDropdownItems = dropdownMenu.querySelectorAll('li');
            for (let i = 0; i < allDropdownItems.length; i ++) {
                if (i % 2 == 0) {
                    allDropdownItems[i].style.float = 'left';
                }
                else {
                    allDropdownItems[i].style.float = 'right';
                }
            }
        }
    });

Let me know if this works for you!
