ng-multiselect-dropdown - TypeError: Cannot read property 'idField' of undefined

yes, solution above (with [settings] binding before [data]) works because ng-multiselect-dropdown has setters in data and settings inputs. data setter is using settings input. So in this case order is important. It also suprised me at the beginning. Look at source code:

Please set

dropdownSettings:IDropdownSettings = {
..Other settings,
idField: 'id',
textField: 'text'};

set your dropdown list as

dropdownList= [{id: '1', text: 'Sample Text'}, ..]

Also set [settings] before [data] in html as indicated by Abraham Cm

I had the same issue and I solved but moving [settings] param prior to [data] para.

Example:

    <ng-multiselect-dropdown
        [settings]="dropdownSettings"
        [data]="dropdownList"
        [(ngModel)]="selectedItems"
    >
    </ng-multiselect-dropdown>
