I'm changing my _homemade_ forms into the new ones (8.3) and I've just noticed that I can't search on my dropdowns. The search property doesn't exist and even if I create it it doesn't work. Is this intended, a bug...? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/2/a2037ae7bb60081abd7b1658a9ad5ee44dd395f0.png) ---

> [@mmadariaga](#): > > I'm changing my _homemade_ forms into **the new ones**... If you mean version 8.3 you should add that tag from the dropdown below your question title. (Remember that your post should be useful, or at least clear, to someone who reads it in five years time.) ---

@mmadariaga, thanks for using our new Form component. Search is a current feature of our stand-alone Dropdown component but is not yet available with our dropdown widget in the Form component. I’ll submit a feature request with this info. ---
