Dropdown menu goes from 1 and onwards

Hi,

When inserting a number into a field with a dropdown menu it will automatically pick the first number on the list.

For instance I add "6" to the field and hit Tab. This results in BC picking the first one on this list with a 6 in it. So for instance here "6+Tab" gives the value 126.

I could not find any solution in the Field Groups section unfortunately. Not a big issue but I was wondering if anyone has a solution

Thanks!

    Hi,

    Please check what is the customization done to populate this field.

    Hi, I think this is the standard action, I tried it in the No. field of the Sales Line, this query is a fuzzy query, it will match all values that contain 6, after you press Tab, the first value will be automatically entered.

    The first one will be seleted....

    Unfortunately, I didn't think of a good way, I hope other experts can give you better advice.

    Thanks.

    Nitin Verma I do not think there is any customization done, as far as I can tell anyway. I will check again. Thanks for your input.

    YUN ZHU Thank you for checking. I believe you are right that there is no easy way to solve this.
