New feature suggestion: add "multi-select" option to columnDef "editVariant"

[yann-combarnous]

I just cloned "MRT_EditCellTextInput" to support "multi-select" option for editVariant (using Mantine's "MultiSelect" component), and customized "renderEditRowModalContent" to use it for specific fields and it seems to work flawlessly.

Would it be possible to add this option officially?

Changes in "MRT_EditCellTextInput":

...
const isMultiSelectEdit = columnDef.editVariant === 'multi-select';
...
if (isMultiSelectEdit) {
  return (
    //@ts-ignore
    <MultiSelect
      {...commonProps}
      searchable
      value={value}
      {...selectProps}
      onBlur={handleBlur}
      onChange={(value) => {
        selectProps.onChange?.(value as any);
        setValue(value);
      }}
      onClick={(e) => {
        e.stopPropagation();
        selectProps?.onClick?.(e);
      }}
      ref={(node) => {
        if (node) {
          editInputRefs.current[cell.id] = node;
          if (selectProps.ref) {
            selectProps.ref.current = node;
          }
        }
      }}
    />
  );
}
