Post Selection Pick-List Shrinkage

[ddooley]

One possibility for this, though an extra click usability wise, is to use the same control that "multi" select lists have. (There could be two side effect benefits here - the popup selection list will in the future also: A) accommodate "other" option for free-text, b) also use synonym searching (e.g. type "chicken" and get "galus galus")

I think if you delete the entry then the pick-list refreshes no? Not ideal either but I think we should minimize needing to have extra clicks by default. Maybe extra menu can be trigger by left click?

Yes, it does refresh when you delete it. I think ideally, the dropdown would list all items as soon as you start editing a cell, regardless of what value is in it, and then only begin to filter when you start typing. It currently filters immediately.

I don't think this is a pressing enough issue to bring in the pop-up chosen editor. In the future, when we begin looking at custom editors (not as easy as it sounds--I tried it, but probably inevitable if we ever try to get rid of the pop-up editor for multi-select values), we can revisit this. Will probably need to extend the autocomplete editor, and introduce a tweak somewhere.
