I am looking to use a Zapier Interface but I need a field to be a predefined option pulled from a Zapier table. Is there any capacity to have a search field in a Zapier interface to do this? I am aware the functionality exists for a tickbox but I only need one choice and would prefer to give my users the capacity to search

Hi @rneville 

Good question.

Perhaps you can include a real example and provide screenshots to help us have more context about what you are trying to solve.

 

Here is a quick example using Gsheets. In the first column you can all the options (this would be the data in Zapier sheets) In C1 you can see a dropbox selection. If I start typing Wo it will show only Word as an option whereas if a typed in “P” it would give me the option of publisher or powerpoint. 

 

With such a short list its easy to just click on the one you want but imagine if you had 80 different options like my company does for this field.
