Re: List Menu Functionality
With the 7.5 WUT I am able to type ahead a few characters on a couple of fields, but maybe it's because they have very large menus (over 15,000 items) so the matching is slow enough to take the extra character input - also, they're set to match anywhere (if that's a factor). Other fields only take the first character. But the same action on the midtier doesn't seem to work the same way - it only matches the first character even on the large menus. (In this case these fields aren't using auto-complete.) David D.

Re: List Menu Functionality
Sometime this is very annoying as after every letter you type it wait for some time and comes back with suggestion. In 8.x Auto complete property is there which says Auto complete after Keystrokes and you can specify how many letters I have not yet validated it. you might want to test this and see if it works. In 8.x SRM there is a Configuration setting which allows controlling this behavior Preferences--Request Entry-- Type Ahead in the Search Menu.
