Hi I can’t find any solid forums on this other than suggesting me to use a search bar.

I want an input bar that can autocomplete based on the term clicked. So far I’ve spent the entire day and haven’t made much progress. !

Right now whenever I click nothing happens. I’m using a group focus, repeating group, group with image and text. I want a more advanced search bar basically… Why can’t I simply say bubble “fill this input with this repeating group data” bubble frustrating me today.

is this possible? I am currently trying with states but it isn’t going too well.

Please help! Thanks in advance

hi Anwar thanks for your speedy answer but I did not use a search bar as I want my options to also show images. I just got around it using this.

> Hi I have put together an autocomplete for a search input. At this point I want to make it so that when the autocomplete results appear, the user can click on the result and it will subsequently fill in the search input with the value of the cell clicked. I have attached an image of the page functioning. What I’d like is to make it so a person could click on boston and the input value would be changed from b to boston. Cheers
