In categories with a high number of sub-categories (main example being https://www.speedrun.com/pkmnswordshieldext#Trade_Alt_Main ), the UI quickly gets very unwieldy. Might it be possible for the button group to be a dropdown, either as an explicit option in the variable configuration or automatically after a certain number of options are present?

You can set subcategories to be misc. categories, but as far as I know you can't have multiple dropdown menus, I might be wrong though.

Yes, this is a feature request.

I'd recommend that you post your feature request in the Feedback thread: https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/g79jt Maybe this small "mod" i made is also interesting for you: https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/efgfj that will make the board look something like this: (screenshot is from an ultrawide monitor)

setting it to misc. is really clean. I use it in Hearts of Iron from nation already pretty long https://www.speedrun.com/hoi4#Form_Nation

Ugh, this would be good if they weren't hidden by default on profiles.

@Corvimae misc categories are hidden but subcategories put to misc arent hidden on profiles. my profile as a proof european union is a folder category
