Increase Autocomplete Results Limit

[ashinyobject]

Is there a way to increase the number of autocomplete items shown in a Relationship field (to Post Tag)? Right now, when you enter the first few letters, it shows 15 items; and that is not enough for us.

The 15 limit is not enough to show all tags. For example, lets say we have these tags:

aaa xyz
bbb xyz
ccc xyz
ddd xyz
eee xyz
.
.
.
xxx xyz
xyz

When we type xyz, the first 15 show up. But not “xyz”. which is a tag by itself. How do we increase the limit?

On the Pods support forum, Jim True suggested this is handled by the SELECT2 library. Any pointers on how we can modify this behavior?

There is a filter for this, check in classes/field/pick.php

Apologies for not having more time, am in a place with limited internet
until tomorrow afternoon.

You also bring up a great point, maybe intentionally :)

We should totally show the exact match first if it exists, since by default
we sort alphabetically.

Thanks a lot - will look at that filter. And yes, fixing the sort might make the autocomplete limit moot...

Re-opening this issue as the AutoComplete filter should be documented and it didn't get added to this issue, either.

Essentially I'm just looking for documentation.
The limit I would like to update is the query limit for the autocomplete field. So instead of returning 15 results in the autocomplete field, I would like to return X, for example, 50. I would expect to be able to set this via:

• shortcode [pods_autocomplete limit=50]
  $temp = pods((!empty($atts['post_type']) ? $atts['post_type'] : 'user')); $temp->limit=$attr['limit];
• in the pods_autocomplete function hook
  $temp = pods((!empty($atts['post_type']) ? $atts['post_type'] : 'user')); $temp->limit=50;
• or via some other hook or override
• jimtrue also mentioned pods_pick_select2_overrides but there is no documentation to use it

Also, it would be nice to have the exact match functionality in place as well, so that, for example, if the user enters 'H' the results don't return everything that has an H but instead everything that starts with H

Any additional information would help. Thanks.

You can override the simple options such as string/boolean/integer options or simple array (strings) as documented here: https://select2.org/configuration/options-api

JS function callbacks don't work here since this is a PHP filter.

Here's a super simple example:

add_filter( 'pods_pick_select2_overrides', 'my_pods_select2_overrides' );

/**
 * Override some of the Select2 options used in the JS init.
 *
 * @param array|null $select2_overrides Override options for Select2/SelectWoo.
 *
 * @return array|null Override options for Select2/SelectWoo.
 */
function my_pods_select2_overrides( $select2_overrides ) {
	return [
		'dropdownCssClass' => 'my-custom-class', // Set a custom dropdown CSS class.
		'language' => 'es', // Change the language used.
		'debug' => true, // Enable debugging of JS for advanced troubleshooting.
	];
}

Thank you for the response. So am I to understand that there is no way to modify the autocomplete field to return anything other than 15 results? thanks, Steve
