Why/When would need to Make a Searchable Select Field in Webflow?

1. When you need to offer users one or more predefined options for a form field – e.g. topics, materials, industries, etc.

Sometimes you may need users to select one or more options from a predefined list and you’ll want to make sure their experience is as quick and painless as possible.

We’re going to take a look at how you can create two types of searchable select fields in Webflow, so you can pick whichever one’s best suited for your needs.

Creating searchable select fields in Webflow forms

To create searchable select fields in Webflow, we’re going to use MemberScript #39 – Better Select Fields. Follow the link to get the code you’ll need to add to your page and watch a video tutorial on how to set everything up.

Setting it up

The first thing you’ll need to do is build out the form itself and style it however you want.

If you want an individual select field, go ahead and create a select field with all your different values and add the following attribute to it:

• ms-code-custom-select=”select-with-search”

If you want a multi-select field, create a select field, add the same attribute as above, and just tick the box that says Allow multiple selection under the field’s settings.

If you’ve got a lot of select values, you can use this tool for a quicker and easier way to add them to the select field.

Hacer que funcione

Now that you’ve got the form set up, all you need to do is add the MemberScript #39 custom code to your page.

For this MemberScript, we’ve got two pieces of code, one that goes before the closing head tag and another that goes before the closing body tag. Be sure to paste them in the right places!

Conclusión

That’s everything, you can now go ahead and test your form’s select fields.
