Dropdown list options move out of view as the list becomes longer. - Known Error

Dropdown list options move out of view as the list becomes longer. Description When using a template field and adding a field of type list (for example watchlist) the more names you add to the list field the further the drop down suggestions moves to the right which creates a bad user experience

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new sys_template record 2. For the table field, select a table that contains watch list for example incident or case 3. Go to the template filed and add work notes 4. In the "Work Notes List" field, add values one by one. 5. Observe that the dropdown gradually shifts to the right as more values are added. 6. Eventually, the dropdown moves out of the visible area, making it difficult or impossible to select additional values.

Workaround Workaround -

We can add an onload client script for the form as below to position the autocomplete dropdown -

function onLoad() { // Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below var style = document.createElement('style'); style.textContent = ` .ac_dropdown { left: 50% !important; } `; document.head.appendChild(style); } Ensure to uncheck the Isolate Script checkbox. This will ensure the dropdown is always present in viewport and the values can be selected.
