Search a Dropdown Field

Hello, I have a dropdown field that has hundreds of options, any way to add a search field for this instead of endless scrolling to find the option i need?

Thx

    In the properties for the drop down field, you can select "Use record picker instead of a drop down menu". This will give you a search box.

      sorry i forgot to mention that the dropdown is a related field dropdown.

      Eg. related products to a category (supplier)

    So... Go into the field options for the related field. There is a section in the properties call Reference Field Options. You'll see the check box I'm talking about there.

    Okay, then what I'm suggesting must come with a different plan. The interface does not have all the options in the properties.
  • Weird, right.  This is an administrators view for the Platform plan.  did they take the option away?

      I have the platform plan as well. I'll show you my screen shot.

      Checking the above high lighted check box would give you the desired searchable dialog box.

      maybe because it is a text(lookup)

      Thanks for your help, might be a custom script thing I will need to do
