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

I would like to see an increase in the the display limit (currently 20) in the dropdown fields for Portfolios and Programs in Project Details.

 

While editing the Portfolio/Program fields on the Project Details section, the dropdown field only displays the first 20 in the list. Typeahead functionality is there, but not everyone knows the correct names to utilize typeahead and the dropdown selections work better. 

 

Either show all selections in the dropdown with scrolling or maybe add a View More feature when there are more items past the display limit and selecting View More would show the next 20 and so on. 

 

I'm sure there must be more people out there with more than 20 selections in Portfolios and Programs that would like to see this fixed. 

(like this idea to maybe, hopefully get it looked at and fixed)

 

Thanks.

Agree, not everyone remembers the name of the portfolio or program they need

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!
