how would you this if you allow multi_selection from the drop down. How would you attach multiple selections to the user reference. Thanks

what if I want a dropdown or even not a drop down. I just want to make a text field where they enter a registered user from the collection of users. basically what im trying to do is to add a pay-someone method where there will be a field to enter the user they want to pay and the amount. Im just clueless how to make a field where they can enter a valid user and when I press the button/paybutton it will validate if that user is valid or not and if it is valid then the transaction will go through. is this possible or too complex?

Hey, thanks for everything and all your videos ! You're helping us a lot .. Can you tell me or show us how can we make a filter from a drop-down on a component for a feed page ? I can find anything on that .. Thanks very much.

Do you have a go-to method for making a dropdown from an icon or something other than that ugly text box? That seems to be the only type of natively supported dropdown in FF? Easiest method i could come up with is to save the icon as a component, make a new container with the menu + items, create a component state that updates when clicked, and then use conditional visibility on the menu. But it's kind of annoying b/c it pushes other nearby containers out of the way when opened, instead of overlaying them (the menu icon itself is on a container in a listview). Any solutions?

I'm looking for information on how to create a custom user created list. This would function similar a "watch-list" or your typical custom playlist you may find on a music app. Would you happen to have any info related to this?

Is it any difference if you update AppState not the FB collection?

I need to fill a document Reference, but my Update action is expecting a String, so it's not possible in my case. I have to save new selections (updates) from a dropdown that shows names but has document references as value options for each names, because the objects are references really. In this case what is the best practice? thanks a lot!
