Would love the feature to search \> filter \> select a column from the dropdown menu within components/filters/columns. ![5th_Quarter_Sports_Recruiting_·_Glide](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/6/3617b7466a5a3307bd5b4eb062cbae643c7411ec.png) 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: ![2021-04-06 14.32.10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/8/c817bf6675aed7dd3971f8a614f30529566a6af5.gif) ---

I spend a lot of time reading and searching slowly over non alphabetical or ordered lists. This would help a ton for more complex apps. ---

When we have lots of columns it’s a bit mess if we have to search in a looong list. This fewature would be fantastic. ---

Right?! The scrolling through and scanning 50+ columns for every condition is debilitating. ---
