For about the past couple of weeks now, I have noticed that when typing into the ‘Search actions’ box in the rule editor, it does not filter out the custom fields in the search results. ☹ This does not seem to happen to _existing_ rules, it only happens when you create a new rule and the issue is only with custom fields. Steps to recreate: 1. Create rule from scratch 2. Leave trigger and condition empty 3. Click on the ‘Do this’ box 4. Search for a field in the actions list 5. Nothing happens 😅 So when I type ‘Score’ I see ALL the possible fields, instead of seeing _just_ Score: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/4X/b/3/d/b3d1c4d2a9da6e4319e9311c4ce5a52fd8638e8e.png) Pinging [@Forum-team](https://forum.asana.com/groups/forum-team) for escalation please as this is driving me 🍌🍌🍌 ---

We used to be able to filter all the different actions by typing the name of a field, but it doesn’t work anymore. If you look at the example below, when I type “Lifecycle”, it doesn’t filter to only show that specific field. ![CleanShot 2026-03-03 at 11.38.35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/4X/9/7/3/9738480ae90e89de0620d339f5af40579753c3ee.png) ---

Also: Search filter is showing too much, too: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/4X/1/2/b/12b6a1f7e67f7ba887a54399b48e0adb8c9ed263.png) @Bastien_Siebman, I hate to have to say it to you of all people, but don’t forget to vote!🙂 Thanks, Larry ---

@Stefan_Kirilov that’s a bug you might want to communicate to the Product team 🙂 ---
