How can I create a dropdown menu with a pre-filled field in Webflow, allowing users to filter neighbourhoods from a collection list and navigate to a corresponding page after making a selection?

To create a dropdown menu with a pre-filled field in Webflow, allowing users to filter neighborhoods from a collection list and navigate to a corresponding page after making a selection, you can follow the steps below:

1. Set up your Collection List: Create a Collection List containing all the neighborhoods you want to display in the dropdown menu. Make sure to have a field that uniquely identifies each neighborhood, such as an ID or slug.

2. Create the Dropdown menu element: Drag and drop a Dropdown element onto your page. You can find this under the Forms section in the Add Panel. Customize the dropdown label and placeholder text according to your design preference.

3. Populate the Dropdown menu with Collection List items: Open the Dropdown element settings and click on "Add Option" for each neighborhood. In the Label field, select the neighborhood field from your Collection List that you want to display as the dropdown option.

4. Set up the interaction to filter and navigate: Select the Dropdown element, go to the Interactions panel, and click on the "+" button to add a new interaction. Choose the "Dropdown" trigger, and in the "Affects" dropdown, select the component you want to be affected by the interaction.

5. Add the filter and navigation actions: In the interaction settings, choose the "Set Value" action for the component affected by the interaction. Set the value to the neighborhood ID or slug field from your Collection List associated with the selected dropdown option.

6. Set the navigation action: Still within the interaction settings, add a "Navigate" action to direct the user to the desired page. You can use dynamic linking to dynamically generate the URL based on the selected neighborhood's value.

7. Repeat the process for additional dropdown menus: If you want multiple dropdown menus to filter different criteria, such as property types or amenities, repeat the steps above for each dropdown, adjusting the filter and navigation settings accordingly.

8. Style the dropdown menu: Customize the appearance of your dropdown menu using Webflow's built-in styling options or by adding custom CSS classes.

Remember to preview and test your dropdown menu to ensure everything functions as intended. With this setup, users will be able to select a neighborhood from the dropdown menu, which dynamically filters the collection list and navigates them to the corresponding page.
