Next Steps

edit
  • Add the loading state when the dialog is opened and wait for the API response.
  • If there are no available items to link to the current article or this later is already linked, we do not need to open the dialog; we just need to notify the user with an info toast.

Next Steps

This requires some kind of pop-up that presents the search results the user can select from, which will require some design work. Bill will continue to work on Search functionality. Harumi and Bill will work with Nico to design the pop-up. We want tickets by the middle of Sprint 25 (May 27).
