Make Event Trigger Variables Searchable

Just thought it would be nice if the dropdown menus for selecting logic in event triggers were searchable similar to when you’re for example, setting the data source for a Variable text widget.

In instances like mine where my app has ~500 variables, the search functionality would be helpful. I know I can get close by typing the first few letters of a variable name, but being able to precisely filter by name would be helpful.

As he mentioned, I want a feature to search by name when there are many variables.
Is there any plan to implement this feature?

Hi @da-noguchi -

Thanks for chiming in here and letting us know this is still a feature you are interested in!

This request is not currently on our near term roadmap, but is still an open ticket in our backlog.

For any others on community who would like this functionality, please vote and comment here, as it will help us prioritize this in the future!

This is definitely a function that I have already heard several times as a wish from our customers.

It would be a great addition for a better overview and efficiency.

Thanks all - we just added this in as part of r340!

:sweat_smile: 500? Wow, sounds familiar… at least in the beginning until we moved to splitting things up in separate “joined” apps … which unfortunately created a whole set of different new challenges.

May I ask how you survive this? Even now with the added “search”?
