Columnfilter from checkbox to suggestion

Question

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. ‘Search field’ as filter‘Dropdown’ as filter for the same column

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.LookupGridHeaderFilterOptionsLimitUniversal GUIDefines 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
