Inline Add dropdowns in tabular report doesn't scroll upon typing a letter- is there javascript solution?

[DesiLogi]

Hi,

I have a datapage using Inline Add with dropdown selections. Normally a dropdown will auto-scroll as the user types in letters, i.e.. as they type 's' the dropdown scrolls to the first 's' and they can see all the other records that begin with 's'. And if they keep typing it further narrows the scroll.

Here though it doesn't scroll at all and simply puts the first record with 's' (for this example) in the selection box but doesn't scroll the list. If the user doesn't want the first record they have to manually scroll all the way down. When there's a lot of records this can be very tedious and Caspio says this is expected behavior. Does anyone know of a javascript solution to enable type-to-scroll in Inline Add?

Hi,

You may find the Cascading Elements useful for that functionality.
Check this article: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/datapage-components/cascading-elements/

Hi @SushiPizza,

Thanks for the tip--the problem with autocomplete (cascade or not) is the field stores a number id but the display is a text value.  Autocomplete  only uses one field for both value and display. None of the cascades or dropdowns actually type-to-scroll in Inline Add.
