igCombo Resets the text value after loading new dataSource

Question

I am using Infragistics igCombo in my implementation. When the user inputs 3 letters, I fetch the data and load in the dropdown list by calling the dataSource method. After loading the data in the igCombo dropdown, the already input text by user is deleted automatically and the combobox shows empty string

Answer 1

If you set allowCustomValue: true to the combo, then the input text should remain after a rebind.
