Dynamic dropdown filter

Hi.
I have a dynamic dropdown that filter a repeating group (list of companies) based on the category (marketplace, saas, etc).
All works fine. How can a set the option “All categories” in the dropdown? The first option is a blank line, which of course lists all the categories when is clicked, but I believe not everyone will understand it, so I would like to place this option in the dropdown. Is that possible?

Thank you for your help.

Hi there, @filippo.livorno… it is definitely possible to do what you have described. Are you using an option set for your categories? If so, add “All Categories” as an option in the set, and then add a conditional to the repeating group that changes the data source to a search for companies with no constraints when the filter dropdown’s value is “All Categories”. Oh, and if you are using a dropdown to assign a category to a company, you can remove the “All Categories” option from that dropdown so a user can’t assign it to a company.

Any of that make sense? Hope it helps.

Best…
Mike

This response in that thread offers up another solution…

Filter by All in a Dropdown Need help

I think this has become way more complicated for your scenario than it needs to be. From what I understand you have solved the original problem, but now cannot “unfilter” as there is no “All”. If this is correct understanding, here is the rest of the solution sticking with Bubble’s standard drop downs: Step 1: Check within your drop down selection, there should be a blank “option” at the top of the list of options. This is effectively the “All” to negate the original filter. Like such: [Scree…
