We have a need to add a text thing in a design that allows a user to start typing a name and display a dropdown element with a list of things that match in a table. If there is no matching name in the table, the user continues to type the name and when saving the form the new name is added to the table. How can this be accomplished?
If I’m understanding you correctly, you can either use a Searchbox or a Multiselect Dropdown (install the plugin).
Hope this helps,
Daniel
You can use the search box, and use the “Typed Text” function.
In your “save” workflow you recognise if the searchbox contains an existing thing or not, and adjust accordingly.
Thank you. It looks like the searchbox type will work

Thank you. I’m having a problem with saving to the database table. If I use “SearchBox A’s value” it will save if an item was selected from the drop-down list. If I type some text in SearchBox A, it won’t save the typed text to the database table.
If I use “SearchBox A’s typed text” it will save the text that was typed, however if I an item from the drop-down list it won’t save the selected item to the database table.
What I need to do is save either the SearchBoxA “typed text” or “value” to a field in the database table.
