I think I understand what you were trying to do but don't understand at what point you meant the list goes up that you need to scroll down to see the box containing the ellipses to select the fields. I do not see it happening that way - the only annoying thing I see is in the regular pane mode of the AL I need to click the down arrow key of the scroll bar once, to go a row below to see the empty row so I can click the box with the ellipses to expose the available list of fields yet to be set.
That annoyance goes away if I maximize the AL creation pane, and use it that way (maximized), or if after maximizing it, I restore it to the regular pane size. When I do this, I automatically get an empty row at the bottom of the list from which I can continue building my field list in the set field action without having to scroll either up or down.

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.
