This seems like a very useful feature, yet it is unstable. On my machine (W11 22H2 Bulild 22621.2283 64-bit) it has never been working, not with the 2307 Current / 2307 Monthly version, and neither with the two last Insider Versions (2311 Build 16926.2000 and 22311 Build 17005.2000).
And I'm not the only one, see this post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/auto-complete-for-drop-down-lists-not-working/79a91d2b-6cf5-4e41-9750-7f3bba183040
While insiders can live with unstable features - please make features stable before releasing them to stable channels!
- Hi Maurice, thank you for your feedback. I will share this with our PM's.
