Hi Craig -- do you have an example stack of a dropDown field that does what you are describing below? The filtering of the items in a large list to limit choices after a few characters are typed sounds like something useful in many similar cases (like a search). That is an awfully long list.

Thank you for your suggestions and some good hints on how to approach this. I'll give it a go
