Autofill in the field Person ( and Keywords )

[dmdeckbar]

Hi Kirk,

I loaded a text list with actor names to the field - Persons shown.
That works well. If I click on the triangle the list opens and I could choose the actor.
But that takes - because the list is long - to long :-(

If I have to go for Waltz Christoph long way down !
Is it possible that write in the field Persons shown - Wal.....
and the list goes up an show me the Actors with the name Wal... including Waltz Christoph ?

The more I type of the name .... the possible choice gets closer

:-) I am looking for the right words !!!

I now about code replacement - but to many actors - to much work - !

Iam looking for something like - Autofill if the PM if it finds the name !

That's what Autocomplete is for.  Have you tried adjusting your Autocomplete settings?

Cold the list learn ?

If I have to type a name that is not in the list - could that name be added for next time ?

No, it won't spontaneously learn new words.  You would just add the words to the various editable lists in the IPTC dialogs.
