Hello everybody, I have been looking around but have not seen anything in the forum like it. I have an app where I enter data that computes a result based on what is entered. (Aka food with proteins etc.) Is there a way to build an autocomplete when I enter my data that shows an array of choices based on what I type? Thanks ---

The only way to do that as you are typing is to use the built in search on a list. As you type the list automatically reduced based on any column values you have in the item details. Then you can click on one of the items and continue with whatever your process is. ---
