Has anybody worked out how to make the empty item have text, something like “- All -” would be good.
Maybe some CSS or funky code like when you need to remove the default styling from a dropdown on IOS.
If not @eve you should add this to the next hackathon…
There are hacky ways around it like using an objects’ name + item “All” or using option sets by using Dropdown’s Option Set converted to list minus item “All” or the worst which is to have a dummy item in the DB called “All” but that’s hacky…
Not sure what you mean… The placeholder value won’t show up in the dropdown??..
You can see in the image the placeholder is All Teams, so kind of what you said is what I have done…
I’d like the top item (currently a blank space) to be able to say - All - or for that matter what ever I want, perhaps All Team, I still want it to return a blank value tho. The blank value in a search, with the checkbox ignore empty constraints checked, will return all items
Hi there, @chad5… for what it’s worth, I’ve added such an option in a few apps, and I’ve seen a number of forum posts about it… nothing but hacks, man. So, if someone does know a non-hacky way to do it, I’d love to know what it is. That being said, I’ve kind of adopted a “Is a hack really a hack if it works?” mentality with Bubble (while still trying to do as much as I can the “right” way, of course), and while the answer to that question is probably yes, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do, eh?
