How to Let Users Create Their Own Options for Multiselect Dropdowns

Let's talk about a niche feature in your Bubble.io app...the dropdown element.

The multiselect dropdown in Bubble is generally used to show and let users select from keywords, categories, tags, and more.

This in done in a “tag-like” manner, where anything that’s been “tagged” with a keyword, category, etc will show up when its keyword, category, etc is chosen.

Usually, you'll have a predefined list of options for your multiselect dropdown, but sometimes, you might want to let users add their own options to it.

For example, if you were building a “meetup” app, your users might be creating meetup events. For each event, they might fill out the name and description, and also "tag" the event with some keywords so other people can easily search for and find it.

In this case, you might already know a lot of the most popular keywords for a user’s event.

​​So, by default, your list of keyword options could already be in there — things like "music, food, fitness, etc."

To take it a step further, though, you could also let your users add their own keywords to the dropdown so they could specify even more — things like "folk music, outdoor barbecue, or HIIT workouts," for example.

Setting up your multiselect dropdown like this adds an extra layer of customization that’s entirely under your users’ own control. With that will come an experience that's even more personalized to them.

This Bubble tutorial teaches you how to set this up in your own app, step by step.
