Description Barbara Johnson 2020-12-11 21:47:50 UTC
Convert the vendor search box on acqui-home.pl to a dropdown so that it's possible to select a vendor from the list rather than having to type it in which would be more efficient.  Also there are times when I don't remember the name of vendor and seeing it in the list of choices would be helpful.

The issue here is that we have libraries with a few hundred vendors they use or have used (special libraries tend to have a lot).

So a pull down would not work here. Could an auto-complete feature be helpful here? Or only displaying a pull down up to x vendors?

I know we do have some pull downs now and they are a bit problematic in some cases - would love some discussion about what works best and have that added to other spots as well!
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2023-01-24 00:08:15 UTC
Maybe converting to a select2 kind of pull down/list like we have for collections/locations in the item form?
