Full-Text Search for Field Configuration Screen

[george-neha]

User Story:
As a user configuring fields for the main form, I want to quickly search for a field using a full-text filter so I can filter out fields quickly and avoid scrolling through the complete list.

Objective:
Currently, when a user is configuring fields for the main form, they have to scroll through the entire list to find a specific field. In scenarios where field names are similar or the list is long, I may miss an existing field and create a new one, leading to field duplication.

Proposed Solution:

1. In the drag-and-drop section of the screen where I can configure the fields, I should have a full-text search filter and a button to clear it.
2. I should be able to search for the field names and get results in real time.
3. Even with the search filter, the fields to create a new text field and text block should be there on the screen.
4. The user should be able to drag and drop filtered items.
5. The search should be case-insensitive
6. The search filter should work on both the full name and the short name.
7. If no fields match the search, then the list should be blank.
8. I should be able to clear the search, and on clearing, the complete list should be available.
9. After finding a result from the search filter and dragging and dropping the search input, the search input should remain unchanged unless the user clears it.

I would envision a UI like this:

• the actual shown field blocks will be filtered based on the entered text.
• "Create New Field" and "Create Text Block" are always visible.
  • Bonus tweak: When using "create new" while some filter text is present, prefill the dialog's label/text with that

1. When searching for an item from the list and then selecting it to drag and drop to the left side, the search field still appears available for dragging and dropping. This can be confusing, about whether the field has been added. Additionally, if I drag and drop the same field multiple times, it creates multiple records with the label I am searching for (for example, I searched for the field "Date").

2. There should be an option to clear the filter to maintain consistency throughout the system. This would also make it easier for users to clear filters when needed.
