Can Someone help me with Searchable Dropdown

Hi,

It is possible to add a search tool to my dropdown where the users can search the info in my dropdown?
I have a giant list of stocks symbols in dropdown, it would be very dificult to find some symbol in +500 assets, it is possible to search specificaly for one stock symbol?
Thanks,
Rodrigo

I’m not sure it’s exactly what you’re asking for…

but why not use a SearchBox instead for this… it’s a lot less costly in WU and offers a better UX…

With search box i can not search option sets can i?

Agree with adam.

However, if you really want it to be a dropdown where you could select one or multiple things, you might want to explore these plugins:

  1. Selectize Dropdown Plugin by @Thimo
  2. 1T Dropdown by @eli

No, that’s correct…

So it might make more sense to use the database rather than an Option Set for so many things.

Alternatively, you can create your own custom HTML search box with any datasource you like.

Or create your own custom searchable dropdown UI using existing Bubble elements (i.e. GroupFocus, RG, Input etc.)…

Or look at available plugins.

Thanks Man!

You could also look at installing the multidropdown menu which has a built-in search function. Within the element settings, you can limit the number of selected items to just one.

If you then need to reference the one item from the list, you could pull from the elements list value :first item
