Feature Request : Lookup fields interface over cascaded drop down (e.g country and city)

[mlcshankar]

Cascaded drop Down - in your Example Country City is very elegant for small static list of data.

In case of larger set of data 10,000 rows - e.g Payment for a set Invoices from customer needs a better UI interface, it is cumbersome and UI interaction needs to be refined.

Is it possible to invoke a Modal Mudtable to show City for a country and with a dialog interface for selection of an object , which can be selectively populated on to the UI Model fields.

e.g In a time sheet we have Department wise emplyees, Select Employee code then show name and status maintained by HR
Department , Emplyee Code, name, Status - Active/Fired/Leave

Another e.g Invoice where Area Code entry pops up the relevant customer data table to select
Customer code populates Name and address , consignee etc.

Such a List with Selection is called as List Of values with a mapper based on json - Extracted dowstream rest api with filter and ordered on some set of keys.

The advantages of this approach are 5 fold

1. users want to See a Dahboard on UI interface - all!!! would not want to do more navigation and remain on the same page - Desktop experience.
2. Selection Single/Multilple sets of data for processing further.
3. Populating fields to maintain integrirty of data
4. Seperation of concerns - all such data is from external routes rest api. Leave UI for Interaction and some to alien scripting.
5. Reduce Changes to Building Solution during production - split some portion to Scripting downstream

I plan to look at extension of your framework to address this necessity.
