Select data search only shows results for defined values

What are you trying to do?

Hello !

I am using the value of forms fields created with customizable components as dynamic values (to define visibility or send them through an integration).

I could not use the “default” form fields because of lack of options to make my form, therefore I cannot use a global “form value” to do it fast and I have to retrieve custom states one by one. And I have a lot of fields.

When I use the search of the data selector, it only shows results for states that already have a value. As my form is as expected empty to start, I have to browse the entire list or switch to code to select my form fields. Fortunately, the code editor helps me with autocomplete, but nevertheless it takes longer than if I could just select them from the search.

I guess I could define an initial value or preview value for each field to solve this, but this workaround would take even longer than using the code editor.

I see no reason why search results do not display any data/field that is in the list below, regardless of it being defined or not.

What are the reproduction steps?

  1. Add a form customizable component on a page
  2. Use a dynamic value anywhere in your page
  3. Try to retrieve the value in data selector with the search function

Hello @jay-dee

If you’re referring to Antd Form, it isn’t compatible with customizable components, they belong to two separate component systems. That said, we do have a Customizable Form in the pipeline.

Regarding the data picker search behavior: the issue isn’t that the values are undefined. Rather, the data picker currently doesn’t support searching by the full path, which is why those fields don’t appear in search results. I’ll push an update to improve this by enabling search across the entire path, which should address the problem you’re seeing.

I’ll ping here when the update is live.

The Data Picker items are now searchable by their full path

That was fast, thank you @sarah_ahmed !

I could have waited a little before setting all this fields ! :sweat_smile:

Good news for the customizable form, I am looking forward to it. Great form capabilities are really crucial features for building interactive applications in my opinion. It would be great to ease the integration of a captcha system within it.

By the way, Plasmic does not share any public roadmap ?
