Redmine

Hi Redmine team,

I’m working on customizing Redmine and would like to enhance the user experience by replacing the default "Target version" dropdown (used on all places) with a searchable dropdown, similar to what Select2 or Semantic UI provides.

The functionality should remain the same (i.e., selecting a version for an issue), but I’d like users to be able to search through the list of shared versions, especially when the list is long.

Is there an officially recommended way to override or extend this dropdown field in a plugin without breaking compatibility with core Redmine behavior? Any guidance, suggestions, or hooks I can rely on would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
