I have more than 15000 last and first names in my dropdown box. When I type first letter, it is not selecting an item from dropdown. Any idea? Thank you
Hello Edward,
If you are using the Dropdown Search component for Outsytems make sure that on the OnChange Event, you refresh the source of your list.
You can also set the Max number of records of your aggregate to a higher value in order to fetch more data.
Hope it helps!

I am using a regular dropdown because it's a part of my form. I cannot use Dropdown Search.
Well, there lies your issue.
Its more difficult to implement what you need with a normal dropdown. Using a dropdown Search will get you the best results.
You can use a Dropdown Search inside a form you just have to assign the selected value to your form attributes on the OnChange event.
Yes, dropdowns only load so many records. For performance reasons, it is recommended you use a lazy-loading widget for dropdowns that have tons of records. Here is one that I've used in the past: LazyDropdownSearch - Overview | OutSystems.
Hope this helps!
What do you mean by that? You can have a dropdown search widget within your form. That's what it's made for. Are there other requirements that prevent you from using a dropdown search? Because honestly asking a user to scroll through 15,000 possible selections to find the one they need is bordering on an impossible task.
Hello @Edward Muratov
Are you fetching the data from aggregate, If yes then what is the max record property of your aggregate?
