Auto-complete functionality in database forms, added Birthday and States field types

Auto-complete functionality is a great way to add more power to your forms.

Auto-complete functionality implemented. Long live My Task Helper!

Auto complete from database is very easy to use from Form builder.

We have added one more great feature for MyTaskHelper's users called Auto-Complete. It does mean that you can set some set of default values for your Single Line fields and MyTaskHelper will try to help your users to fill field with auto-complete values by showing the list of possible values. When user enters first symbol in the field we will search in your predefined list of auto-complete values and will show the list of possible field values. Let's show it quickly on a small project. First of all make sure to create new project for testing this feature. Then add new form, it will be very simple form with just a few fields. Create State field with type of Single Line. Set some description text for your users. Set instructions for users for state field And now the most important thing - enter the list of auto-complete values, one per line. Click on auto-complete link. Set auto-complete values for state field And copy and paste the list of US States. Enter list of values for auto-complete field Here we are, let's see it in action. See how auto-complete works on real form Great, it definitely works! Now you can go ahead and improve your forms to add more power and to impress your users! ;)
