Hide Full List in Lookup Column Until Typing in Model-Driven App

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by 13
Is it possible to modify the behavior of a Lookup column in a Model-Driven App so that the dropdown list does not display all available options by default? I want the list to appear only when I start typing and show only the matching records instead of the full list.

Right now, when I click on the lookup field, it displays the entire list, but I’d like to restrict it so that it only shows results relevant to what I type. Is there a setting or customization (e.g., JavaScript, Power Automate) that can achieve this?

Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for any advice!

    @MParikh  I have already configured the settings, but it still doesn’t work as expected

    My goal is to prevent the full list from showing when clicking the search icon. I want the lookup field to display only the results that match what I type, instead of showing the entire list by default.

    For example, in an Employee Lookup, I don’t want users to see all employees when they click on the search icon. Instead, I want names to appear only when they start typing.
