When you have a select field that is a customer or an item for example, you have “List” and “Search” options from the dropdown, if it is a select field for a custom record you only have “List”, is there a way to add the “Search” option for a custom record?
m
Probably depends on the number of record instances and the user preference for max entries in dropdowns

No that controls if you get the dropdown “List” in general, I am asking about having the “Search”. There are 20 items in the environment and I can see the “Search”

I can see Search on mine for custom records
m
Can you show me a screenshot? I am unable to see it on mine, have you set any different settings on the custom record to get it?
j
You have to cilck “List” and then the search box opens up

Hi, thanks for the video but that is “List” I am talking about “List” and “Search” like this

custom records seem to only have the “List” option and not the “Search” option, that one I have only seen on Items and Entities
j
Question: why does this matter?

There could be multiple values in there and it makes it easier for a customer to select the appropriate one. The only thing you see in the list is the record name, if they want to select the correct record based on other data points i have to concatenate all of them in the name and that gets long and ugly
Just like you can do a “Search” on item/customer and see results with multiple columns and then click on the correct one and it puts it in for you in the field, I am trying to recreate the same functionality for a select with a custom record
