Adds a search box to long list custom fields, so users can find an option by typing part of its name.

  • Works with single-value selects, multiple-value selects and checkbox groups.
  • Accent-, case- and punctuation-insensitive, word by word, in any order: sao jose finds São José dos Campos.
  • Keeps the native field: nothing is replaced, so forms, bulk edit and Redmine's own JavaScript keep working.
  • Selected values of multiple-value fields are shown as chips with a remove button.
  • Click to toggle in multiple-value selects (no Ctrl needed).
  • Works in the issue form, bulk edit and issue list filters.
  • Works with cascading fields of Redmine Cascading Custom Fields and Redmine Depending Custom Fields.
  • Settings: minimum number of options, click to toggle.
  • Translated into 10 languages: en, pt-BR, pt, es, fr, it, de, ru, ja, zh.
  • No database migrations, no gems, no external JavaScript libraries.

Screenshots
