user input field with lookup values

0
Is it possible to link the field in the app where user needs to populate serial number to look up existing values  so let say if the serial is ABC123456 when user starts to type ABC it will display the drop down with available options but then still allow user to insert new value if match is not found?

Hi Maciej,

 

The combo box widget sounds it would meet your needs. Check out the footer option where you can place a button to add a new item to the list.

Hope this helps!

Yes, it is possible to implement such functionality in an app. What you're describing is a dynamic autocomplete or dropdown with search functionality. Autocomplete/Dropdown with Search can be your option or combo box
