Spotfire Ideas Portal
Could we please get dropdown as an option for filter types? This would prevent us having to use trickery with dropdown lists bound to a doc prop. We use dropdowns on nearly every portal, because they use less screen estate.
Could we also have the option to type a search term into the drop down (in the old days of VB this was called a combo box I believe)

Future Consideration
Same here... almost 10 years... The hack to do this in python is a time consuming trick that just makes no sense. It´s one of the oldest component in UI history, and its simply not available because its atached to the main filter type settings and it´s not available there. Not even reasonable to this component not be available in the Text Area as a filter.
I totally agree this would be a great addition. Dropdown selectors are a simple and space saving way to set filter values but then having to manually apply the filter by expression is an unnecessary pain
