I’m trying to build a drop down with list of country name and their country code, so I want something that will display the country name and their country code when you click on the drop down menu but when you click on a particular country, it should only show the country code.

Could somehow make a CSV of this List of country codes by alpha-2, alpha-3 code (ISO 3166)
and upload it as a new data type “County” with a field for the name and country code. Then your dropdown would just be a search for all countries

I actually saved all the country names and code in my bubble database. I also did search for countries but I want a scenario whereby when I click the country name and code , it will show the country code as the value
Maybe just make your own dropdown with a repeating group and a workflow to set a state? Then you can have the design you want and have it show only the country code when clicked

Why dont you use an api, for it, there be a free api we can use for all countries and there code
Yeah sure…
Could you please help me on another problem??.
What is it
Thank you so much Tyler. I’ve been able to implement that in my app. Another thing I wanna do is something like pagination. I mean when you have a single post page and I would love to create something like a previous and next to switch to the next or previous page directly.
So if you’re talking about paginating a repeating group, if you set a fixed # of rows it automatically has pages. You then add buttons with actions to go to next page, prev page. And it exposes states of the repeating group like Total # of pages, Current page #, etc.
Unless you’re talking about next and previous to jump between next/previous Things?

What would determine the order of the posts, would you do creation date?
Here’s what you would do for the workflow on your “Next” button
On the “Previous” button it’s the same workflow but the constraint sign is < instead, and it’s :first item instead of :last item
Then on your Previous button to indicate there’s no more posts to see you would put the conditional:
And for the Next button flip the sign again to >
You might need to switch the buttons around depending on if you want Next to go to a newer one or older one but that’s the basic concept

Thank you so much Tyler …
I’ll try that
For that custom drop-down, the layout is kind of breaking anytime I place the country and code repeating group under it…
Is there something like position absolute that will enable me to be able to move it around anyhow without actually breaking my layout?
It’s a text input, then the repeating group is in a GroupFocus so when it is shown it appears over your existing elements, it doesn’t push anything down
The groupfocus you then pick the searchbox as it’s reference element
