Previously, all dropdown menu components used “Select…” as the placeholder text with no way to update it, but you can now customize this text for your app’s unique use case.

How on Earth is this the most important thing to get done?

Nobody said this was the most important thing. This is probably something that one of the devs fixed as they were working on something else, or they took a break from a big project to fix something small to give their brain a break. In the past you just wouldn’t have been updated about this.

I appreciate any improvement we can get. And it’s cool of @jessehaywood to take the time to update on routine improvements like this. But I definitely got a kick out of this as I peruse the forum because I literally - and no joke - am waiting for the editor to unfreeze (again) after I typed in a text box too fast…

Thanks for updating us on all these little extra features. Really gives me confidence that you’re all working hard to flesh out basic features while you’re doing your best to rebuild/strengthen foundations!
Wasn’t it always there from edit styles?

Any new feature to Adalo is great!
+1. I don’t remember ever having an issue with changing the content of that option.
It was there before??? lmao
Thanks for the update. Good to have this on the top of the menu, but indeed it is not a new feature. I’m doing this for over a year now via the ‘edit styles’ menu.
If you look at the changelog it is tagged as an improvement, not a new feature. Alternatively, something like the component marketplace is tagged as new.

I believe that’s where the confusion was generated. This post is titled “Launched:…”, which sends the message of something new launched. And the copy of the original post also indicates that this is something new.
Maybe for instances like these, the title should start with “Improved:…”.
Food for thought.

I don’t know which os and device you are using but try Firefox developer edition on MacOS. I think is also available for windows, in case. Adalo editor has terrible performance in chrome
