Hello,

I’m building a Glide Page (Not an app) and the choice component does not have a search option despite the documentation stating that if I have more than 9 options, there will be search bar.  
Is there a work around to this? Any insight would be helpful. Thank you.

I don’t believe there is a search for choice components in Pages yet. It’s only a available for Apps for as of right now.

Maybe a workaround until Glide Team release search in choice for Pages? 🤔 👀

Works in Drop-down style too!

Problem with this is that I get my data from airtable. It won’t work with airtable for some reason.

I imagine they are working on it. I don’t have a timeline though. Pages is a complete rebuild, so they are working on recreating all the components and features that apps has. Eventually Apps will be converted to that new model.
