Modern List - Add/Edit item - Text column doesn't pre-populate anymore?

[Rob Clarke]

Hi,

I am having a brain fade moment and I can't think of the right descriptive word for the behaviour I am talking about so instead here's an image:

The "From" column is a single line of text, up until a few weeks back when I started to type in this box it would list below previously entered text (similar to how Excel behaves when you type in a cell that matches previously entered text).  Now it appears this functionality has stopped, maybe it shouldn't have worked and it was a non-documented feature but it was very useful.  I've tried a few browsers and the behaviour is the same so it's not browser specific.  Anyone else noticed this or any thoughts on where/why it's gone?

Cheers

Rob

I think the experience you had when adding data was just provided by your browser and not by the SPO form intself

Ah, yes I see where you're coming from, however I spend most of my days working in private browser sessions thus history isn't normally saved.  I am starting to question myself now :)
