Joe. Go into Dev Studio. Build an Active Link against a form. Add 20-30 fields to the form, setting their values to null or whatever you want to set them too. As you build the list, everything works fine, until your list gets so long that it is longer than 1 window within DS. See what happens as you try adding more fields to the list and trying to set their value. Then you'll get it. It has nothing to do with wildcarding in the search window.

I use those all the time, and I have not really faced the brunt of this bug you’ll are describing. In fact I didn’t even know it was a bug as I got into the habit of using this way too early as I found out this was possible on the very first day or so that I started using the Developer Studio. * is the wild card character used for getting to the exact list of fields that match your field name – for eg if you are looking for fields with the label Name in it, you could type * Name in the Name field of the Filtering Options And get fields like First Name Middle Name Last Name Would this resolve your problem? If this is not what you are trying to resolve, I might have not understood clearly what you meant by “everytime you select a field or the field value, the view keeps resetting to the top of the list”.

Once the list gets longer than the field list window can display, the scroll bar kicks in, as expected, but everytime you select a field or the field value, the view keeps resetting to the top of the list.
