Drop-down checkbox or method to display available values for a column #105

The column search filter has been good alternative to the default Django Admin list_filter, especially if you know what you are looking for. However, I was wondering if there was a way to view the set of values for a particular column? A similar issue I saw was #7 and am wondering if any progress was made on that. Thank you!

Hi @morlandi, yes I found that after my post. I think it is a good step towards what I was looking for. I have a couple questions:

  1. Is there a way to have both a select menu and search box? So that the "select menu" filters based on what is typed in the search box? And you can still perform OR operations for search terms, if you want to view multiple values filtered?
  2. Currently, when I add a max_length, ellipses cut short the column values. Is there an option to view the whole value when hovering over in the select menu?
