Hello!

I created this idea as result of this post: 

Basically, what we suggest is that there should be an option to specify the lookup control for grid filters, we received feedback from users about this and since that can be changed for form/tasks, will be nice to have it also in here.

Regarding performance mentioned in the post, one solution can be to have the sort defined and then pick top 100 for example and if you don't have what you want there to still be able to type and search it.

@Ionut A list of values is shown whenever there are less than 25 unique records in the data set. There is an Extended Property available to increase the threshold of 25 to a higher value, effectively increasing the chances that users get a list of items with checkboxes instead of the search field: Release notes Universal GUI 2025.3.12 | Thinkwise Community.

We don’t intend to support the Lookup control type setting for Grid filters anytime soon. I hope this will suffice for your needs?
