Dropdown widget search not working as expected (Option label search)

Ipsofacto99 commented 1 year ago

Has your issue been reported?

[X] I have searched the existing issues and confirm it has not been reported.
[X] I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

So i was testing the new search feature for the dropdown widget and i found out that

you cant search the option labels, just the option values,

what i did was defining the option values as the ids of a collection documents, and option labels as the display name field of those documentes. so when i search the name of my customers others would show up because those characters i entered in the search were matching the document id.

i consider this a bug because i expected that the search results would index the option labels not the values

Expected Behavior

i expected that the search results would index the option labels not the option values

Steps to Reproduce

1.- Add a dropdown widget 2.- Define the option values as the docuement reference. result of collection query (List of documents) 3.- Define the option labels as a field name. result of the same collection query (List of documents) 4.- Enable search 5.- Test the search

Reproducible from Blank

Hi @Ipsofacto99 - I have tested it and It is working fine. I think you got bit of confusion between option value and option label.

Option value - These are the value you can access through widget state. Option label - ( When you have used it ) These are the labels that will appear for selection. If your labels length is less than your options length the remaining option values will also be used as labels.

It is more useful when you got values and observations to display in the dropdown. example - Country and its short name ( India (IND) ).

Why close this? It's a bug, bacause a usere would search what he sees not some internal value like an ID. In my case most of my values are UUDIS with labels as text.

17259789-6344-482d-854a-821309444bfa - Category 1 17259789-6344-482d-854a-821309444bfb - Category 2 17259789-6344-482d-854a-821309444bfc - Category 3

OR

ID:1 - Category 1 ID:2 - Category 2 ID:3 - Category 3

It's a very common case (if not the most common) and the user has no clue about my values, only about the labels.

I have the same problem. @wenkaifan0720 @bulgariamitko @agreaves can you check this?

@Franco98404 , I agree this could be an issue, but I made a video where I am using dropdowns and filtering the values by the value, so I am not sure if it is a setup mistake or FF issue. What back-end are you using and how did you setup your logic is it the most important part, if you can record a video

this is the video I am talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-kivZ7ChD8&t=1568s
