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

[Mohammed A]

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

Hi @Mohammed A 

Just to clarify.. You have a field and want to filter the values when typing (filling form)? Or somehow maybe search easily search for those 3000 values from the custom field.

You mentioned also about "community posts" where someone was mentioned about JavaScript solution. Do you have a link to this community post?

Hi @Mirek ,

In select list custom field, you can only choose from the list, but it's so difficult to search within 3000 options, I want to search by typing the option name.
