Auto fill forms. Is there a function in Appsheet that can suggest data from a list when users complete a form. I have a payroll situation where there are 50-100 employees. There is no relationship between supervisors and employees so a Slice or SELECT expressions arenโ€™t suitable with an ENUM or similar.

What would be great is if the Supervisor could start typing the name of the employee and APPsheet shows a list of suggested entries as the user types the name. Like predictive text on iphone.

Does Appsheet have this feature?

Yes, there is such a feature; you can use it in Enum or Text column types; when you open the columnโ€™s definition you will find a property named Suggested_Values which could accept a list of your suggested items.

You could enter expressions like TableName[ColumnName] or SELECT(โ€ฆ) in order to populate those list items.

Thank you very much Reza. I have so much to learn.
