Hi,

is it possible to use a dropdown to "suggest" entries for a text field?
E.g. I have certain values that occur quite often. It would be good if the user could have a dropdown to choose from and use the value as a start for a text field - or simply enter completely new text into a textfield.

Thanks already
Olaf

Hi Olaf,
maybe I did not get the question right, but can't you just register on the on change of the dropdown, catch the selected text and add it to the text field?

Hi pboetcher,

yes, that would probably work. I was thinking more about a real suggestion of often used entries: Suggest, but let the user still enter something else without adding to the source lookup table.
However, I will most likely use a regular lookup (for the sake of a cleaner database design)
