Increase the limit of entries for the Autocomplete Widget.

    I need to be able to list all the suburbs/post code  in Australia so the customer can search & choose from it.

    I can see it has been used all over the internet in forms but could not figure out how to achieve it with Jotform. There are about 15000 Subrubs in Australia that would be more than the AutoClomlete character's limit...

    Attached screenshot of what I'd like to achieve

    This is a link for an example of website where they use a working/fast widget:

    https://au.moving24.com/

    And this is the  link to my form when I tried to add the suburbs into AutoComplete but its not working well :-(

    https://form.jotform.co/60667804055862

     

    Please advise how that can be achieve?

    We understand that you want to accept more entries using the autocomplete widget. I have sent your concern as a feature request. We will inform you on this thread as soon as there are any updates regarding your concern.

    In the meantime, perhaps you can try using the Postal Code Search widget for your form instead.

    Thanks, but It's impossible to set it to Australia as a default....and the user need to choose the country each time...which is quiet confusing. I will be waiting for a better solution...

    (also I only need it to be one field as in my example in the first post.)

    Thank you!

    Effie

    Thank you for the additional information. I see that the Postal Code Widget is not suitable for your requirement. Rest assured we will update you on this thread if there are any news regarding your feature request. Cheers.

    Thank you Randy for another useful suggestion :)

    It is important to mention that this is only possible to be used on the full source code of the form. How to get the Full Source Code of your Form

    So it would be needed to create the full form - with a plain textbox field that is hidden.

    Then manually add the code from your code pen to the form and have it set up to update the hidden field.

    In doing so the value would be passed to the submissions panel.

    It is however good to point out that any change done on the form itself would require that the form is re-embedded again on the website.
