While, I am able to achieve the 1st requirement. How to achieve the 2nd requirement.

  • I tried using selectedIndex and Picklist2[options] as used in javascript for picklists. But, these values come out to be "undefined" Mar 20, 2017 at 9:40
  • Any idea how can I get the indices of selected elements of a multi-select picklist? Mar 20, 2017 at 9:45
  • Can you post the corresponding code also?

Ok, so assuming you have just completed step 1, you have a large list in picklist 1 and a smaller list in picklist two.

I'm also assuming that you are using databinding in lightning are are not directly manipulating the DOM

Given these conditions, run your first list through this function. It will remove any dupe values already in the second list:

xorSourceItems : function(source,dest) {
  var itemsToReturn = [];
  source.forEach(function(sourceItem, sourceIndex) {
    var match = false;
    dest.forEach(function(destItem, destIndex) {
      if (destItem.value == sourceItem.value) {
        match = true;
      }
    });
    if (!match){
        itemsToReturn.push(sourceItem)
    }
  });
  return itemsToReturn;
}
