Is it possible to show frequent past inputs in a text input?

I mean this: you start wrinting then the text input suggest based on the last frequently used descriptions?

Yes, if you save every single value a user inputs into your database so as to have records of the values other users have inputted…then you need to setup a custom dropdown suggestion and need to run a search of the inputted values from the database using a constraint to match with the current value typed into the input.

All in all, I’d recommend not bothering as the feature doesn’t sound like it will provide much value to the user for the costs associated with providing it.

I agree that it is probably too costly (in loading time and Bubble WU) to implement this as a fully automated and real time feature.

However, depending on the requirements, you can most certainly “fake the feature” by doing that using options sets.
Options sets are static and you’ll have to create them manually
=> in many scenarios, users will type things you can predict in advance : product names, keywords etc…

If you can determine a few terms you want to put spotlight on → fake the feature and do that search suggestions using a dropdown in 10 minutes and at virtually no additional computering cost
