The PCF - Single Autocomplete custom field provides a searchable dropdown list that dynamically updates with options from your data source.
This custom field uses standard configuration settings.
For information about supported option types, see Supported option types by custom field type.
For step-by-step setup guidelines, see Add and configure a new Power custom field.
How the field displays
This is an example of how the PCF - Single Autocomplete custom field (with option type Component Picker) displays on the edit issue screen:
The selection of options displays after you start typing.
Autocomplete suggestions will appear after typing at least 2 characters, which is the default setting. You can adjust this minimum character requirement from the Autocomplete tab of the custom field configuration.
When you update the issue, the new value appears on the view issue screen:
