Hide DropDown Options by Default and Only Display Search Results

Widgets & Design

I have a searchable DropDown field that displays a list of names. At the moment if I click on the dropdown it displays all the names, which I can search to narrow down the options to matching names.

I want to instead hide all the names by default, and only show those that match the search results. So users can't see the full list of names, and only see the names matching their search. Is this possible without resorting to Custom Code?

Note that the list of names is sourced from an API call (if that makes a difference).

Ideally a minimum of 3 characters would have to be typed before results are displayed.

What have you tried so far?

I've created a DropDown and enabled Search, but there is no way to hide the results by default.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
