Hi Glide Community.

Is there any way I can have a search option for dropdown menus in the Glide pages like we have in the Glideapps. I have 1000s of rows for the dropdown menu and I would really prefer to have a search option to find a particular row.

Let me know if there is any solution. Thanks.

+1 for this, I don’t think we have an ETA for additions though.

I think I can add a text entry box in the form as a search bar, and then filter the dropdown menu accordingly by “include items in the search box”.

Do you think that can work?

That sounds like it will work, but obviously we still want a native solution. 😅
