    I like Jotform, but there is a limitation.2 things


    1) Mobile>> if dropdown has 1000 or more options, need to type then select instead of scrolling.


    2) when i switch back from card mode to classic mode then I can't access to the form edit any more.

    You can use the AUTOCOMPLETE DROPDOWN widget instead. The auto-complete field provides suggestions while you type into the field. This will ease the process of filling out a form.

    Here's a demo form: https://form.jotform.co/33356981507865

    Hi this feature is nice but it causes next issue for integration with
    Airtable. Take a look on train / station field.
    Thanks

    You're right, the widget cannot be mapped on to the Airtable fields. A workaround for that is to add a SHORT TEXT field right after the widget, hide it, then create a condition that passes the widget's value to the Short text field:

    Then map the Short Text field to the Airtable field that is supposed to be for the widget:

    And this will be the result:
