Search Facility in Select Tool

Hello Team,

 

Currently, in the select tool, we have to scroll up or down to check or see the list of the fields. In case, if the user wanted to change the data type, they can scroll into the list. Like, I am working on the mid-size data, and sometimes data contain 300+ fields, if I need to change anything in the data type I have to search by scrolling up or down. 

 

The idea here is, If you provide a search bar under Field, it will be a great help to all, in case if anyone needs to go for some specific field, the user just types the name in the search bar and make changes quickly. The select tool is important and we used much time while working on the flow. 

 

Thank you,

Mayank

The ability to search for fields in any tool with the Select UI is now available in 2022.3! Typing in the search bar at the upper right corner of configuration will filter your list of fields to those that match on either Field, Rename, or Description. BONUS feature: We've also added a checkbox in the header to allow you to quickly select all/deselect all fields! Happy Alteryx-ing! 😁

I would like to sort the fields in my Select tools by whether the field is selected or not.  This way I could move all the unselected fields to the bottom of the list.
