Hi team,

How to implement autosuggest feature for  a!paragraphField ,as we do not want to use the   a!pickerFieldCustom due to the small size of the text box.

Please suggest.

    No, You cannot create that feature within a!paragraphField(). What is the expected character length of each suggestion and the number of suggestions?

    This is not supported.  Usually around this time it's necessary to do some expectations-setting with the business owners to ensure they understand the distinction between "requirements" and "design".

    However it depends on your use case too.  If the desire is to search among some data based on the text entered into a paragraph field, then some clever redesign could potentially accomplish this - what if you display the results of a live filtering in a one-or-two-column read-only grid just under the paragraph box, and update the results as the user types?

    As konduru already said, this is not really a possibility with a paragraphField.  Can you tell us a bit more about your use case?
