Autocomplete property

Hi there, I wonder if there is an autocomplete property available for using in nodes. By autocomplete I mean a field which you can write text in it and it automatically get result from an api based on ‘What you typed in that field’.
I know there is a topic about this, but that one is very old. So I think maybe in newer version of n8n we may have this option

Hey @jellybean,

If you use the loadOptions method in your node, the dropdown menu allows you to type an option, and return the matches. You can refer to the Event field in the GitHub Trigger node to see what I mean.

Hey @jellybean,

Hey @harshil1712
I managed it to make something work for myself, not the best solution.
I have a plan to work on it in the future.

Thanks for asking
