I have a form on my app that allows users to submit information to my App Data.
The workflow I have set up appears to be correct, as it’s taking the user’s information from various inputs and storing into my App Data with no problem.
However, there is one drop-down input that is not storing the data, or allowing me to set it up as such, as it is an “incompatible type”
I have a funny feeling that it has something to do with the 27,000 app data entries that is connected to this dropdown menu. I think I read somewhere that the dropdown input can only show you 1,000 app data entries?
I have tripled-checked my other dropdown inputs (with less data entries) and those are working perfectly.
While I don’t expect my users to scroll through 27,000 lines of data in a dropdown menu - later in the development of my app, the user will be connected to one of the 27,000 entries through field-type - and hopefully the dropdown input will automatically select the data entry that is connected to the user.
But at the moment, I am testing the forum submission without a user account and just wish to manually select the data entry via the dropdown.
As a solution, I tried changing the dropdown input to searchbox, but it is still saying it’s a incompatible type.
Can someone please tell me what the best approach is - to allow me to select from 27,000 data entries in an input and submit that information to my App Data.
Another approach would be to put your data into a repeating group with a option/check box next to each item. Connect it to a search input field and then use what they select.
So you’ve got the autocomplete search box set to the data type of these 27k entries - what’s the type? Town/City? Is your Town/City field in the Empty Journey Detail also type Town/City? or is it a text? Match up the type of the input to the type of the field and it shouldn’t give you any issues. The value would be “search input’s value”
Thank you @DaveA@john3@romanmg - I have tried Dave, and I will try the repeating group John
@romanmg I did think the error would have been along those lines. I’ve followed your post (I hope) to the letter, but still can’t figure out why I can’t set the value to “search input’s value”. Do you think it might be a bug?
Ah, I see it. So where you’re setting the value (and it’s currently in red), you don’t want “search for UK-Town/Citys” … you want “SearchBox Town/City’s value”
Fixed. I’m not sure if there was a bug or not, but I removed and re-added the town/city field. It seemed like it wasn’t showing up for you (when it should have) and then it was. I can see how that was probably super confusing… should be good now. If it starts to happen a lot, file a bug report.
