We are trying to let users update values in a table component. The specific column is of type 'tag', populated with values from another table (a couple hundred values). This works fine.
We run into issues with the amount of information shown in the dropdown itself. For example, a user might search for an address, but in the dropdown we can only see the first X characters of the tag. The tags are made up of <name> (<address>).
Hi Tess - Thank you for your reply! Not sure I understand how the text wrapping would work? The tooltip does not help in this case, as we need to be able to see the full string in the dropdown still. Otherwise the search would not really do it's job, because you'd have to click on each result (and then search again) before knowing which is the correct one.
You can also trick Retool into having captions on tags using the avatar column type. If you set the column type to avatar, set your caption, and then change column type to tag, the caption persists.
We've just come across this issue ourselves where we have many groups of similar tags to pick from. It would be great to have control over the tag dropdown width or toggle an automatic fit.
