How to Search based on text input in Select list custom field

Question

I have a select list containing more than 3000 option, I want to search the option based on text input, I have read some questions in the community and found that it's possible with JavaScript.

I'm not familiar with that, could you please explain it step by step? or if there is a different way to achieve it.

Hi @Mohammed A

I don't know if this problem, in itself, justifies additional tooling for you, but just to put it out there: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, this would work just as you described in the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets.  It also comes with a long list of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Plus, any select list fields are searchable, like so:

(Assigned group is a select field.)

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
