Description -

Why is this feature important to you -

How would you like the feature to work -

Current Behaviour -

 

why it is important: We offer more 38 program name options which our reporting depends on but the hard coding onlhy allows for 20 options listed (the rest are cut off which means unless you know the specific name of the program name you cannot see, you can not select it).

Like the feature to have at least 50 options to allow for growth

While editing the Portfolio/Program fields on the Project Details section, the dropdown field doesn't display all options past a limited amount (I believe it's 20 objects total). Although the area has been designed with the typeahead functionality, within the dropdown there is a scroll bar allowing for you to scroll to see the 20 items.


Due to the nature of our business model, the amount of portfolios/programs is ever changing and typically has more that the display limit of 20. Most often, our Planners are unfamiliar with the newly created portfolios/programs so they are more dependent on reviewing a list of the names rather than using the typeahead function to identify the correct name.


I'd like to propose a change to that dropdown with 2 options

  1. Allow for a larger/unlimited display since the scroller feature is already implemented. This would allow for the ability to view all items within the dropdown list
  2. Add a "View __ more" feature when there are more items past the display limit (patterned after the Favorites section). so that the items can still be read but allows for your display limits

Thanks for posting this one Casey. We have a need for this too. We'd also love to see all active portfolios listed rather than the default setting. And it' would be awesome if you could just click on one to select it from the list.

Hi, Yolanda,

 

Thank you for raising this topic. I have to inform you, that while we acknowledge this as an inconvenience, it is not currently on our <6 months roadmap due to competing priorities. We will update here as soon as we have capacity to include this on the roadmap. 

 

Thank you for consideration,

Hi everyone, 

 

We are working on a new Internal Lookup field, which is going to replace the Typeahead. It is going to be more flexible, support more reference object types and support multi-select. We will make sure to consider this idea for Internal Lookup field.

 

Thanks for the great idea!
