Currently, several fields in my forms are used to display Select controls with very large option sets. The current dropdown is unsorted and shows a quite limited number of options at a time, which makes selection slow and error-prone.
User experience would improve significantly if:
-
the dropdown displayed more rows by default or could be resized by the user, and
-
options were sorted
For your reference, this is how the form is shown in my current use case:
This is a request to address the first of these two issues: increase the number of options visible at once, either by:
- making the dropdown window taller
- implementing resizable dropdowns if your UI library can support that feature
- both
This screen capture shows what I mean with option 2:
The second part of my issue is already covered in another feature request ( Sort a form field ), so please take my first screen capture also as an example of why that other feature request is also important.
Iām making the request for forms. However, it is likely that the same issue appears in other places, so it would be good to determine if this feature makes sense in other dropdowns too.
