I havent created new popup list in a long time:
The  manual page is: Multi-select Pop-up Lists
 
I tried it in a couple of fields using the 'Auto-list of values'
Manual says:
> Auto-lists ... is generated automatically, based on previously entered field-values.
 
This is not happening for me in my current file (which is relatively new)
Note it is working in the sample file :-(
 
Here an example field Category (shown as 'Cat' in grid)
 
 
here you can see it failing in the grid:
 
 
  1. the text added is not shown in the list (even after reopening file).
    => I see that in my file, I have to add new entries using the '{ }', or whatever is used to enclose the entries -- but this not the case on the sample file -- see last screenshot for settings of that.
  2. the filter list shown is not mentioned in the manual (I have a memory of something like the list being filtered for a particular grid?)
 
@Pierre, bug!
that when I created a new field using auto-list in the sample file the full auto-list options did not initially show (once I closed/saved and reopened field properties, the options showed)
this reproducible here:
 
 
 
 
thanks for an help and advice,
Tom (struggling)
