Question

Predictive text input

I am aware of the custom picker feature that functions as a predictive text input.

However I want it to have the capability to select a value if it already exists, and if it doesn't exist, allow the user to input a new value.(Similar to Excel).

This is necessary to prevent the creation of duplicate entries in a field. Can you provide suggestions on implementing this functionality while avoiding performance issues in the interface

Thank you for your response.  That is a good thought.

I think if we are using a query entity to fetch values, the easiest solution is to make the suggest function return back the Filter text if there are no query results. This works too!
