I did a "bulk add" to get the name|value pairs in there, and I checked "Enable enhanced user interface." When I previewed my form, I noticed that typing letters in the search field for the drop down returned items from the list, but numbers did not.</p> <p>For example, some of the departmental listings I added look like the following:<br /> Business Operations, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (384)<br /> Butler College (530)<br /> Capital Giving, Office of Development (874)<br /> Center for African American Studies (108)<br /> Center for Economic Policy Studies (355)<br /> Center for Information Technology Policy (332)</p> <p>And a user might not be sure how their department is listed, but do know their 3-digit number and may try to type that number in the field. However, typing "108" does not return any results. Is there a reason why that search field only filters letters? </p>
