When you create an Asana task you can have an option to select something, in my case its a list of our branches. We have over 100 branches so it can be a bit tedious scrolling through them all.
Previously, you could press the key of the first letter of the branch to jump straight to that in alphabetical order (e.g. H for Hull)
I don’t know why but this feature was removed and it now slows down work efficiency.
Hi @James_Brewster1 , welcome to the forum 
This feature only works for single-select dropdown fields, where you can indeed type the first letter and it will jump to that in the list. Unfortunately, it is not currently possible with multi-select dropdown fields.
Can you confirm that your ‘branches’ custom field that you mentioned is a multi-select type and thus being the reason?
If so, I could rephrase your topic title to relate to enabling this feature for multi-select fields. Let me know!
PS. can you also elaborate on what you mean by task creation? Is this in the List view or Task details, or using the orange + Create button?
