How to add a searchable dropdown list to my form?
A searchable dropdown in a form becomes valuable in scenarios where you have a large set of options or a dynamic list, and you want users to easily find and select a specific item.
For instance:
- When you have a lengthy list of options for a dropdown, scrolling through the entire list can be time-consuming and inconvenient. A searchable dropdown allows users to quickly type and filter the options based on their input.
- On mobile devices with limited screen space, a searchable dropdown can be especially useful. It allows users to quickly locate their desired option without excessive scrolling.
- In forms that are used frequently or by individuals who are familiar with the available options, a searchable dropdown streamlines the process, making it faster and more convenient for users to make selections.
- For users with disabilities who may use screen readers, while navigating long lists, a searchable dropdown can enhance accessibility by providing a more efficient way to find and select options.
To add a searchable dropdown to your form,
- In your form builder, add a Dropdown field from the Basic Fields pane on your left.
- In the field properties, add the choices that you wish to list in the dropdown. If you have a long list of fields, you can group the choices and import the choices in bulk without hassle. Know more about adding a long list of choices in bulk.
- Navigate to the Themes tab on the top and click Customize Form.
- Under the Form tab, select Fields.
- Under Dropdown List, select the Searchable style as shown.
