Hello. Thanks! Your post was really helpful!

I have a question. In my application there is LOV item with the option 'Search as you type' selected. I have a button (disabled) to add a new entry, I would like this button to be enable when the result of the search returns no value. I've tried with JS and with DA, but I couldn't achieve this behavior. Do you have any idea how can I do that?

Hi, glad you liked the blog. Sorry, I am not sure how you would trigger an action when the result of the search is empty (while the Popup LOV is open).

How to add a new value to the table if the value is not exist?

Not easily. You could add a button near the Popup LOV field called something like 'Add New Values', which has a Dynamic Action. The Dynamic Action takes selected values from the Popup LOV field and checks them against the table, adding new values to the table.
