hello openforis, how can I make Autocomplete... in text attribute ?

Accepted answer

You have simply to specify the name of the group in the Autocomplete property. This feature is available only for Collect Desktop (so it won't be available in Collect Earth or in Collect Mobile). The user will see a normal text input field but during the data input an autocomplete popup will appear suggesting values already inserted in the same text field for previous records or for the current record. If two or more text attributes use the same Autocomplete group, the suggested values will be shared among them.
Thanks,

Dea developers, this functionality would be highly appreciated also for Collect Mobile, where typing on a small keyboard is even more time consuming then on a desktop computer! Lutz

Markdown text. Shortcuts: Ctrl+B bold, Ctrl+I italic, Ctrl+K link, Ctrl+E code, Ctrl+Shift+V paste as plain text. Tab indents list items and code; press Escape, then Tab, to leave the text box.

Shortcuts never apply while you type in a text field. Members can turn them off in their preferences.
