Is there any provision to make dropdown searchable in vision?
If no, how can I do it?
Please help!!!
Please consider using this exchange resource:
We’ve been using it for years and haven’t had any issues with it

I tried to import this template but is it showing me empty while importing.
I think version issue is there. I am using Ignition version 8.0.10.
And as I see the Requirement for this template to work is 7.9.12.
You can always make one yourself as a template as well and then use that template everywhere. Then you can make the behavior operate exactly how you want as well by combining multiple components that act/look like a dropdown but with the search functionality. Probably a combination of a dropdown, text field, and list(or table) component).
Works for me,
Unzip, then when you import point to the file Tools_Dynamic Dropdown_2020-03-12_1324.proj
This is a vision template

That shouldn’t need to be done though according to the exchange instructions
But hey, at least it works in one way or another
I tried to import it into a 7.9.12 gateway using the import within the gateway webpage and got the following error:

It imported into Designer (7.9.12) fine
You first need to unzip the file downloaded from the Exchange. Inside you will find the .proj import file to use in the designer or Gateway.
I did that, on 7.9.12 I got the error in my above post
It looks like it was exported in 7.9.13 but the Exchange says 7.9.12. Can you try 13?

So is this not supposed to be importable on a 8+ gateway as a .zip? I was under the assumption that .zip files can be imported on 8+ gateways without needing to unzip / import the .proj file separately
You should be able to import it into 7.9.13+.
On 8.1.20 importing the .zip works, but the imported project is empty. You need to unzip it and import the .proj file contained within
Not what I would expect
That is how I see most, if not all exchange resources, you must first unzip them.

interesting… Seems really confusing imo
the import accepts both .proj and .zip files, but you need to unzip the downloaded file and find the .zip or .proj inside
I always assumed you could simply import the downloaded file into the designer or gateway and be done with it.
Most of the resources I’ve looked at don’t mention anything about unzipping the downloaded file. They all pretty much say “just import xyz file”
I usually just unzip anyways and copy whatever stuff i want out and paste it into the designer manually.
Good to know for future reference. Thanks!
Here is another post that could be useful for people searching for this functionality in Ignition version 8.1.xx:
