Description
Users may have large numbers of datacenters, admin partitions, and/or namespaces. Currently, the Consul GUI presents lists of these entities in dropdowns that are designed to work best when the number of entities is <10 (one list with no search filter or scrollbar).
Related issues include:
- #11246 (namespace dropdown)
- #12867 (datacenter dropdown)
- #16193 (partition-related)
We should consider designs that provide a better UX for working with long lists of these entities, which may involve adding a search filter and scrollbar to the dropdown.
Possible design directions presented below are subject to change:
## Datacenters
## Partitions
## Namespaces

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current Consul GUI dropdown behavior and the related issues #11246, #12867, and #16193. Compare the datacenter, partition, and namespace flows for large entity counts, then establish a design and implementation whose completed state makes those long lists usable.
