Problem : We would like to use a dynamic list in Exponare for our road names (over 3000), but when the user starts typing in they can only type the first letter which is useless for such a long list. For example if they want to find “Maxwell” when they type “M” it only goes to the first road starting with “M”, if they type “Ma” it will go to the first road starting with “A”.

Solution : Create a new input type in the query parameter that is a combination of the “TextInput” and the “DynamicDropDown” that allows user to keep typing in the text box and the dynamic list keeps in sync with what’s typed. In the above example if the user typed “Ma” the list would scroll to show all roads that started with “Ma”, if they typed “Max” then the list would show “Maxwell”. Perhaps the new type could be called “DynamicTextInput”.
