Option to disable the auto keyboard on mobile only? The user can then press on the search field if they like.

We find the keyboard popup on mobile is confusing and often scrolls the page in a glitchy way.

I haven’t found an option within the dropdown list. I currently use a choice component with radio/bullet list and when the column where it’s written to is not empty I show a duplicate of the original component but dropdown version and hide the other. This will make sure its easy to see al in the begin and transferring to compact design of dropdown when selected.

Hey @Dan76

I think I got a good solution for you.

Create a new template column which only shows the value which you want the user to choose from.

Then link the “display as” within the choice component to the new template column. The search option will automatically dissapear and also the keyboard will not trigger a search anymore.

If hope this makes sense to you. If not I can send you a short loom 🙂

Best,  
Moritz
