Suggest
Simple Select or Multi select fieldtype powered by autocomplete suggestions from flexible sources.
The Suggest fieldtype allows you to select from a number of suggested values. Treat it like a regular dropdown, or start typing to narrow down the suggestions.
The values come from either a predefined array of options, or from a third-party suggest mode.
Suggest Modes
The suggestions in this field will normally come from the options array, which is a predefined list of values.
It is possible for an addon to provide suggestions to power this field. For example, an addon might create a suggest mode that fetches tweets from a Twitter user’s account. Learn how to make a Suggest Mode.
