ArcGIS Dashboards- Widget Settings for Categories From 'Fields'- Change to Check Boxes/Select Multiple and/or Add Search Bar

Hello Dashboards Team,

We've recently been building out a Dashboard that requires a lot of Category fields. Upon clicking to add, it's a bit of a pain to scroll down through the list every time. I have two suggestions for how to make this UX better:

1. Add a checkbox next to the fields in this type of option. This would allow Dashboard admins to quickly select the fields they want to use.

2. Add a search bar at the top of this fields list (similar to the UI for "Grouped Values" field selection)

Thanks for your consideration!

Best,

Amanda Huber
