Add auto-complete typing to column dropdowns #1891
Comments
Thanks for opening this issue!

@mtrezza, just to confirm, we are referring to below dropdowns, correct? When deleting a column.When using filter |
Not in any of the "remove" dialogs, because there we want the user to explicitly enter the column or class name to confirm the deletion. The feature should be added only in the filter dialog (2nd screenshot above). The typical UI control would be to filter the dropdown list as soon as the user starts typing, showing only the column names that contain (not just start with) the typed string. The user also needs to see what they currently typed, so the UI control becomes a mix of text field and drop down. A visual aid and nice-to-have would be to highlight portions of the text in the column names after which it is filtered. |
Good idea, maybe if that works, and can be styled aesthetically to fit the filter dialog? |
