Ok that works, but if I want to show only inputs that are available, why doesn't it work? Those inputs in massage were there, they were just not showing.

While we are on the subject, on the custom search, is there anyway to choose a default selection? For example, I have "Estado" (States) as a dropdown menu and I want the search to automatically have "Rio de Janeiro" as selected because I do not have any client from "São Paulo." I do not see an option to set an option as default.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I've added the following code to your view's "search and pagination" section JS box:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $("select[name='wpv-wpcf-estado'] option[value='1']").attr('selected','selected');
});

I appreciate the code but that's not what I expected. I thought Toolset had this option in its code.
The issue is that I will have to create another one for city as well because it has conditional output and I did not want that.

Also I tested and although it does choose the correct state, there is conditional output when selecting Rio de Janeiro as a state, then it should display the city, if Rio de Janeiro (the city) is chosen, then it would display the neighborhood. And with that JQ code, it's doesn't work as expected.

I guess I will have to leave it alone and let the user choose.

I deleted your JQ code, and now the condition output for city is not showing when selecting Rio de Janeiro. It only works after refreshing the page, this should not happen.
