Suggested Enhancements for "Link to Database" Drop-Down – UI & Customization

Hello Wrike Team,

We’d like to suggest improvements for the "Link to Database" custom field to enhance both usability and performance. Currently, the drop-down menu displays results with a width that is significantly larger than Wrike’s usual standards for Single Select or Multi-Select fields. This inconsistency affects navigation and can cause latency when selecting data, especially in compact workspaces.

To address this, we propose the following solutions:

1. Dynamically Adjust the Drop-Down Width

   • Adapt the width based on the current data while implementing a maximum limit to prevent excessive expansion.
   • Introduce a horizontal scroll bar if necessary to maintain a clean layout without affecting usability.

2. Admin-Controlled Column Visibility in DataHub

   • Add a feature in Wrike’s DataHub that allows administrators to show or hide specific columns in the drop-down list.
   • This would ensure that only relevant data is displayed, improving clarity and navigation.

3. Customizable Drop-Down Layout per User/Project

   • Allow users to configure their preferred drop-down layout at the project or personal level.
   • This would enable teams to tailor the display based on their specific needs, ensuring a more efficient workflow.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
