Copied app behaving differently to original

Hi
I have created a copy of an existing app (data and users/roles).  
I've not changed anything in the copy at all; but when I use a form to edit a record, the app is behaving quite differently.  In particular where a form element is selecting the reference field in a related table.
Here's one of the dropdown pickers from the original:

Here's the same in the copied app - same record, same form:


I don't know if this is relevant, but I spotted a difference in the checkbox for the reference field properties:


here's the same field in the copy - note difference:

Any idea what I need to do to make copy totally identical to original?
Thanks

      I believe that Quick Base has now enabled what is called the Type Ahead record picker for all new apps.  I guess that also applies to a copy of an app.  I suggest that you try the "new" way and you will find that as you type portions of words you are searching for in any of the fields you choose to display, it will dynamically narrow the list of choices.

      It's an improved record picker and Quick Base is slowly migrating the user base over to it, starting with new apps.
      Mmm - doesn't seem all that improved when my copied app stops working!  In original app, I can see the reference field values in the form, but in the copy I can't :



      And dynamic form rules copied over to show/hide fields etc. when one of these fields is blank no longer work. :-(

      Is there a way to get the copied app top revert to pre January "improved" behaviour?


      I think you should put in a support ticket as this may need some one on one assistance to sort out.
