So, if he enters <cancion "Bailamos"> and then selects options from several dropdown lists something like
Enrique Iglesias / en Madrid / canto alegre / me gusta mucho
he wants the same things to reappear automatically when he enters <cancion "Mi corazon">
Enrique Iglesias ...
instead of having to choose the same dropdown items like "en Madrid, canto alegre ..." -- again and again... because Enrique Iglesias would most likely have the same properties in the next record.
As I see it - here one needs to change the whole structure of the database. The dropdown list approach will not be convenient...
It involves reworking and rethinking how data should be actually grouped and organized, to identify unchangeable properties of some items and putting them into integrated records or even separate libraries, ....
A more appropriate piece of advice could be given if the data structure were provided. Like, what data exactly do you want to keep in you database? Because optimization solutions could be many.
In any case, if you have to enter the same set of data again and again, it means you have problems with arrangement of your data.
There is a whole theory behind building good databases and structuring data.
If your database requires you to enter the same set of lines - you must rework it.
Organize different categories, linked libraries and groups.
Numerous repeated parts in entries is a poor database style, and what may seem comfortable to you may turn out to be a nasty drag for others.
Like I said, one cannot give you constructive advice on how to implement your database better and more systematically, unless you provide data on what kind of database you are building.
So far you have been asking for a feature which encourages building databases with lots of repetitions and redundancies.
Hello everyone,
I am using Memento PRO to create a bird monitoring library, and I have a dropdown list with more than 300 bird species. Currently, it is not possible to search by typing letters when selecting an item from the dropdown.
For fieldwork, it would be very helpful to be able to type a few characters and immediately filter the list, instead of scrolling through hundreds of options.
This feature was available in Fulcrum, and I would love to see it in Memento so I can fully rely on the app for my monitoring projects.
Has anyone found a workaround for this, or is it something that the developers are considering?
Thank you!
