When using the filter on grid columns (via the three dots in the column header), we encounter the following issue: on the same screen, for the same column, the filter behaves differently depending on which parent item is selected.
In some cases, the filter appears as a dropdown with checkboxes, while in others it shows as a search bar. I suspect this difference is related to the number of available options, but for end users it feels confusing and inconsistent.

Hi Allard,
This is indeed to limit the number of items loaded by the UI for easy checking via checkboxes. Depending on the current filters, the numbers of options may vary wildly.
You can change this behavior using an extended property.
| LookupGridHeaderFilterOptionsLimit | Universal GUI Defines the flip-over point: the number of items to switch from a list of checked items to a dropdown list with search functionality. | Default: 25. | Application |

Thanks for the reply. Are there performance issues with setting the value higher?
+5Hi Allard,
There are some performance implications for higher values, yes. The actual impact depends a lot on your application and environment.
UX-wise, it may also be not preferable to have hundreds of options available here.
