Problems displaying People Dropdown

[sonisick]

I thought I left an adequate space for my People Dropdowns but when I search for a Name like "Jones" the part of the dropdown display gets overlaid by the next field.

This means I've got to expand my form a whole lot and move my Peeps to non-logical places so the dropdown is unencumbered.  Am I missing an obvious setting that says to allow the drop selector to overlay the next field?

This happened to me as well. How did I fix it, hm, ... let's see.

• I clicked on "Bring To Front" when I had the control set.
• I made sure that in the Advanced Settings I had 25 values allowed.

Ah, and I realized that it won't appear past the bottom of a panel it's within. Which ... I guess requires re-organization.

Maybe someone else can tell us how to do that part - if there is a way to make it appear on top, beyond the bottom of a panel.

Is yours within a panel, ‌?

Partial Solution. I happen to have two Person Field stacked.  If I remove the second field the first acts decent. If the second is there, I have the behavior with the first dropdown.

Interesting, I see.. so the top one would always need to be the "front" most.

No panel, though? The second field is what's trapping you? I have a section (in another panel - and mind you, I am on-prem) with 2 stacked (same as you describe) - but the first one's dropdown works until the bottom of the panel, second acts the same. But! It does dropdown over top of the person field.

Did you click "Bring To Front" on the top person picker?

Excellent catch. I needed to set the top one last. Then it worked!

Haha I probably wouldn't have thought of it if I hadn't just encountered it! I still want to know how to get it to go past the panel.. I am sure that will come up eventually

Thanks for the correct-marking!

is it this bug you're talking about?

That's the one! Thanks Marian! Bookmarked ^^

[sonisick]

I think so.

FYI, it looks like following thread provides some workaround
