Auto search on the Lookup field

#Dataverse, #LookupField, #Behavior

Hi all, How are you? 😍

This week, my client asked me about the data searching on a Lookup field. The system's current behavior is so confusing when they press on the area lookup fields which show almost recent records first, then they click on the icon and can get an available record list.

Example: Contact field whit recent records

Turn off recent record

So, I already disabled showing recent records on this lookup field as below.

Disable recent record on "Contact" lookup field

And return to my app and check...

Recent record have been disabled

The recent records have been disabled. However, my client is still facing another confusing behavior with nothing to be shown when pressing on on lookup field (as about the image). Even, though they did type a character into this field but nothing to be shown either.

Nothing with a charater

Very very confused... 😥

Configure Lookup field behavior

... And I found one configuration in the Power Platform Admin Center: Environment > Setting > Behavior.

Lookup Behavior Configuration

You should input 2 values and I did input minimum value also:

• Minimum number of characters to trigger typeahead search: 1

• Delay between character inputs that will trigger a search: 250

Checking after configuring

On my Lead form, at the Contact lookup field, I type the "T" character and check...

Typing "T" character and auto searching

Typing "H" character and auto searching

Happy and happy... 🎉👏
