Can drop down menu for metadata act the same as in Sharepoint?
We have a drop down selector that we use to add metadata after we add the email to Sharepoint. If i press the first letter of that drop down menu the first option with that data comes up. Pressing another letter jumps to another data. Is there a way to prevent this so i could type the first 3 or four letters and get the correct data?
e.g. my metadata drop down menu has entries:
gregor
gregormegor
gregorbogor
robeto
if i type "g" selection gregor will pop up, if i type "gr" then last selection roberto will popup instead of second gregor. if i upload file manually to share point then this drop down data selector would do as expected and upon typing "gregorm" it would jump to gregormegor.
is there a way to have this sharepoint functionality in Oneplacemail?

Hi Gregor,
thank you for your question.
I assume you are talking about Choice column:

If that is the case, we'd recommend you to move choice values to a separate SharePoint list and create a lookup column instead of choice column.
This will provide you following benefits:
1) Easier management of values;
2) Values are not cut in OnePlaceMail dialog;
3) Type-ahead search you've requested for works fine.
Hope this will help. Please update this topic if you have any questions. Thank you.
