Description

With regards to #509 @djaiss commented

I'm a bit hesitant about it. On one hand it's great, on the other hand I'm afraid that the dropdown will be just too huge and hard to process. That being said, perhaps we can still do it and see how it's used on a daily basis.

We could introduce something like https://select2.github.io/examples.html for all dropdowns.

What do you think?

Research direction
The issue suggests introducing searchable dropdowns (like Select2) for all dropdowns in the Monica CRM. Refer to the linked issue #509 for prior discussion and the comment by @djaiss expressing hesitation. Investigate the current dropdown implementation in the frontend codebase, likely in Vue components, and evaluate how to integrate Select2 or a similar library. Discuss with maintainers to clarify acceptance criteria before starting implementation.
