I am looking to create a drop down question so people can select from a decent sized list of options. It would be great if I could make it a search bar that automatically populates letters as participants type. I am not a Javascript person, so if anybody has an exact screenshot of how this would look in the JS editor, if this is possible, it would be awesome. Thanks!

Shashi, Do you mean when it is a drop-down and if you type a letter it takes you to that area in the drop-down list or can you do more of what I am looking for as an actual search bar that you could type multiple letters that autopopulate? I can't find the feature that you may be referring to?

Where would I post this code? I am a very basic HTML user and that is it. I have done 1 Javascript function : ) Do I paste this in the JS editor or somewhere else?

@Umang Upadhyay - You can use select2. I think there are a number of posts on the Community about it.
