Using autocomplete/datalist for select and commas in option names

    Hi,

    1. Is it possible to have commas in the option names for a select field without setting labels separately? We’ve tried using , but unfortunately, it won’t save the field value.
    2. Do you have a field type (in the free or PRO version) that allows using a searchable select box (e.g. autocomplete or HTML dataset)? My client has a select box with 100+ options which is not great in terms of UX.

    Thanks!

    Hi @d555555,

    1. If you want the values that are used in the labels setting to have an escaped comma “,” instead of the comma being used as a separator you will have to add the comma as an HTML code – ,

    2. Unfortunately, we don’t have a field type in WCK that can achieve what you’re looking for.

    Hi alex,

    This is what we’ve tried – #044; (with an & at the beginning) and while it shows correctly in the dropdown, when we select it try to save the post – it won’t get saved (or selected again in the dropdown).

    Hi @d555555,

    Thank you for reporting this. I was able to observe the issue regarding the Select field (that the correct value is not saved when using that escaped comma). I’m forwarding this to our development team, where they will get it fixed in one of our future updates to WCK.

    Best regards,
