When using a select one statement in Survey 123 and setting appearance to minimal it gives you a dropdown list with radio buttons next to it. Is there a faster way to search through a dropdown list like typing the first letter and having it automatically go to the first word with those letters

Hello,

   You should look into changing the appearance of question to "autocomplete". This will sort through your answers and match only the given characters that you type in; so it acts as a live filter.

Say for example your name Zack and you have over 500 names within your list. Instead of scrolling all the way to the bottom, you would type "Z". Then the autocomplete appearance style would filter out all answers that do not contain the letter "Z". Then when you type "Za", then same thing would happen with the filtering action and only leave the available answers that have "Za" within them.

I hope this helps.
