Expand lookup field when clicking on it

Posted on by 2,095

Hi all,

I was wondering whether it's possible to automatically expand out a lookup field upon selection of the field.

Currently you either have to select the field and press the enter key to browse, or hover over and click the magnifying glass to browse selection.

I was wondering whether it's possible that upon selection of the field it auto-expands and shows all selections pertaining to that lookup field's view.

I also know you can enable most recent selections as a option but that's not viable in this case as they need to see all options.

Kind regards,

Mike

    Hi Mike,

    The lookup field action is by design.

    • Press Enter or Click the magnifying glass -> show the related records. 
    • Click the search box -> show the list of most recently used records.

    You may find more information from https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/preview-for-usability-enhancements-to-lookups-in-unified-interface/ .

    Thanks
