When binding the remote data source, by using the actionComplete event, you can modify the result data before passing it to DropDownList.
The following sample demonstrate how to modify the result data.
<div class="control-wrapper">
<div id="default" style='padding-top:75px;'>
<ejs-dropdownlist id="customers" actionComplete="actionComplete" query="new ej.data.Query().from('Customers').select(['ContactName', 'CustomerID']).take(6)" placeholder="Select a customer" popupHeight="200px">
<e-dropdownlist-fields text="ContactName" value="CustomerID"></e-dropdownlist-fields>
<e-data-manager url="https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/" adaptor="ODataV4Adaptor" crossDomain="true"></e-data-manager>
</ejs-dropdownlist>
</div>
</div>
<script>
function actionComplete(e) {
// initially result contains 6 items
console.log("Before modified the result: " + e.result.length);
// remove first 2 items from result.
e.result.splice(0, 2);
// now displays the result count is 4.
console.log("After modified the result: " + e.result.length);
}
</script>
