Hello everyone.

I've made a survey before using filtered dropdown like shown in here:
forums.limesurvey.org/forum/design-issue...st-dropdown-question

It works fine with few choices. But now I'm making new survey with hundred of choices and need to be filtered like above. To simplify searching, I want it so respondent can search the choices. Select Filter Javascript that used above is not compatible to Bootstrap Dropdown that have search function inside.

Is there any way to apply filtered dropdown in Bootstrap Dropdown? Or can search function applied in normal dropdown?

Thanks in advance.

Searchable dropdown question theme - github.com/tpartner/LimeSurvey-Searchable-Dropdown-6x

I've tried install that question theme, but it shown two dropdown box in the second question, with the first box is filtered and the second box is a normal searchable dropdown that's not filtered based on the first question.
And in my understanding, the way Select Filter JS works is it read the first character of answer code in first question as a filter for the second question with same character at the answer code. But this mean that answer code "A" and "AA" is not different. Can we make so that it read at least 2 or 3 characters as a filter for the second question?

Hi,
if there are really many, many items there is another approach.
With the library "easy-autocomplete"
Here the original sample of @tpartner
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...tions-filters#226402 [/url]

Here I adapted (only two levels, all 2056 cities of Germany)

BTW:
In your provided lss, which javascript did you exactly use?
It is in your "custom.js", but not in the export.
 

That's what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, it looks like the easy autocomplete JS website is down, so the method is not working. I've tried change it to https and it's still not working. Is there anyway to see that Javascript? And if I want to used it in my survey, should I just copied it inside custom.js in my theme like selectFilterByCode?


The Javascript that I used is selectFilterByCode, copied into custom.js in my theme.

I do not see this
[url] github.com/pawelczak/EasyAutocomplete [/url]

and the cdn where you can download the js and css 
[url] cdnjs.com/libraries/easy-autocomplete [/url]

And something more

Thank you so much Joffm, now it works.
Because this is a multiple short text question, participant can type freely and not chose answer shown in dropdown form. Can we limit so that the answer must be chosen from the list only?
