Multiselect "focus" not working on Retool Mobile

Hi folks, I think I have ran into a bug.

  • Goal: I'm hoping to have a button open a multiselect field in Retool Mobile, so that the user doesn't have to press it.

  • Steps: I ran a manual script and tried via "control component." I would expect the "focus" to open the multiselect

  • Screenshots:

  • App json export: mobile-app.json (41.2 KB)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi @Taseel, there is no update on this bugfix at the moment, we're aware it is an issue for multiselect and select. We'll be sure to update this thread if we hear anything! I went ahead and added your +1 to the internal ticket.

Any updates on this?
I’m also running into the same issue with mobile select components. It’s a key feature for us, so hoping this can be addressed soon.

Hi @JasperCreationss, thanks for checking in. This is currently in the backlog so there are no updates at the moment. The mobile team is hard at work on other new features related to the next launch, but every bump on this thread keeps this top of mind for us.

One potential workaround could be to use a modal. When you click the button, it could open a modal with the options from the select/multiselect component. The setvalue property does actually work on multiselect and select components, so you could tie that to the options in the modal.
