Qrew LegendI believe at 1,000 records you are forced into Browser. There used to be a setting to force the browse type record picker, but I think that when they improved the way that the drop downs filter they took away that option. It must be an unusual use case to want the Browse method.

That's true for me - it is just one particular unusual case that it would be helpful. Normally I just filter it to a smaller amount of choices.
My use case is that in a certain scenario, my users are in grid edit mode and need to select a certain record from a record picker dropdown. The problem is, they can't just type in the record ID number and search, like in many other places in QB. They literally have to scroll down a list of 800 items and find the one they want. The record ID is my first field, but it doesnt just say the number, the report automatically lists the field name then a hyphen, then the record ID. I believe when you type to search it is only looking at the first character, so its always pointing and searching the field name.

- MarkShnier__YouSorry, I did not realize you were in Grid Edit. Go to the field properties for [Related Parent] and check the box for
Use a record picker instead of a drop down menu for grid edit
