Beside some advantages being discussed here :
But this maybe already out of date. The reason I want to change to select2 because we don’t need to type a “correct” string at the beginning to match options, select2 matches the text options partially.
If you are ok with this, I will create a pull request on this.
Try select2 here : Select2 has moved!
Great suggestion. I especially love the multi-item-selection and amazing templating it offers. Would love to see Select2 get used instead of our own (rather bad fixes on) autocomplete for User/Group-Selection.
@sam would you accept a PR for this?
I would happily accept a PR for this if it doesn’t break anything.
I know we use some custom templates for our select boxes. We’d need to make sure they are all working after the swap. I think the most complex select choices are for categories right now.
@eviltrout it would be nice that you can check this one for me 
I believe this is now complete @eviltrout @nXqd?
Yup it’s all merged!
