When creating a compound action and adding a condition, it becomes a mission to find the specific column you need, specially if you have a large amount of columns. It becomes even more time consuming if you have to repeat this action. This wouldn’t only apply to compound actions, but to any condition. So a search box, like the one in the GDE, would be a fantastic solution ---

Duplicate request. Please vote here: > [@Search columns when selecting within a component/column](https://community.glideapps.com/t/search-columns-when-selecting-within-a-component-column/25222): > > Would love the feature to search \> filter \> select a column from the dropdown menu within components/filters/columns. When I have 80 columns and I’m creating a basic table, complex if-then-else column, etc. it would save A LOT of time if we could search for the column rather than requiring the app builder to scroll through the list of columns for each condition. Integromat does this well: ---
