Searching long strings in drop-down lists

Having a drop-down list in your form also allows you to search values by using the full string or sections of it.

Tutorial

To find the drop-down label containing a string starting with the 27th character, check the Use Exact Search box in the Data tab of the Drop-down List component.

However, this displays strings up to 65 characters. To search beyond this limit, open the Component JSON of the Drop-down List component and add the following properties:

...
"useExactSearch": false,
"fuseOptions": {
"distance": 800
},
"searchThreshold": 0.1
......
"useExactSearch": false,
"fuseOptions": {
"distance": 800
},
"searchThreshold": 0.1
...
