Make the component field to a searchable field

[mikii111]

At the moment you need to know all the components name and you need to know the exakt name

Would be great if you could have a list with all the components and select the one you need and that the field was searchable

e.g.
We have a component named 'dynamic attributes' and one called 'attributes'
I would like to be able to add 'dynamic attributes' without knowing the full name, so if I enter attribute I can select the right one.

@mikii111 - on which page is that ? If the issue is still relevant please add more details how to reproduce and screenshots.

I'm guessing that he is referring to test case view Components -https://public.tenant.kiwitcms.org/case/5754/ .

Product has 3 components:

• Test component 1
• Test component 2
• Test component 3

Search is a bit clunky:

• Searching for test gives 0 results
• Searching for Test gives just 2 results
• Searching for compon gives 0 results

I'm assuming that search is case sensitive and only searches from the start.

Drop-down with all available values combined with improved search (non case-sensitive, search over whole string) would be more user friendly.

@Prome88 thanks.

"Test component 2" is assigned to a different product, that's why it doesn't come up.

The rest should be easy to do. Just need to instruct the FE layer how to query the DB(, e.g. use name_icontains or similar).

I've assigned it to proper Product, but it still only shows 2 results (now Test component 3 is missing)

I can see that the JSON RPC request returns all 3 of them. Maybe the popup widget just displays 2. Appears to be the same behavior wherever the same widget is used. For tags it also shows only 2 entries. For example there are several tags starting with "Adroid " but you need to type the entirety of it (incl. space) to see some of them, otherwise they just don't appear.
