I have a Parameter I am showing on a dashboard to allow a sales office to be chosen. It has to be set up as a parameter because of a pass through I am doing to get a larger regional unit and I want it all to update based on one selection. However, the "Enter Search Text" option is not there like a traditional filter with a list view. Any ideas on how to accomplish a similar task?

 

tldr; I have a parameter I am selecting in a dashboard, and want to be able to scroll and select from a list, but also search for it the item I want.

    Hi, ​ @David Lund​ 

    I too would have liked to be able to search through the list of parameters, but unfortunately that option doesn't seem to exist.
