There used to be a section in the “Add Element” menu with depreciated components, now it does not appear that can be found anywhere.  
Is there any way to access these still? In particular, there was an older version of the dropdown menu, called “Input Select” I think, that had a Boolean and variable to limit how many options would appear. I used that component multiple times as that feature was incredibly useful.  
I can work around this by finding new ways to implement similar features, or by copying the component from another project I used it in. But seems weird to just get rid of them from the menu if they still work.

Hey @TristanBeer 👋  
Deprecated component means they are no longer maintained, so not recommended over newer component.  
In your use case, maybe you can directly limit the options at the data level, or even in the formula binding with a slice function)?
