    Form:  https://form.jotform.com/52924830648967

    I populate the Client (Job Name) on the above form with the list of our clients.  I copy/paste the data into the properties of the field.

    The list populates as I paste it, but when I just looked the last names of the alphabet are no longer there.

    The following are missing - this is major!

    This is because of the character limit in the Autocomplete field. Unfortunately, there is no other way you can fix this aside from adding a new Autocomplete field for the other options. It is the same if you are using our basic dropdown field.

    You may also consider adjusting the name of the options. Maybe remove some of the addresses in the options.

    That is really too bad - we need the addresses.  I guess we'll have to add a field.  Is there no way to expand it?

    As far as I know, we've already expanded the character limit in a field, i.e. the autocomplete field/widget. However, I don't think our developer would consider adjusting this again. This is to ensure that the form will work and loads normally. Too many characters will cause the form or the browser to freeze.

    It's either you will adjust the texts or add a new field. The options are Alphabetically sorted. Maybe, you can add a new field and then put A to K in the first field label then L to Z to the second field label.
