[ ] Can type in field to refine options, not just select with arrows for drop down lists
Remarks
I doubt if we will be saving key presses on aggregate.
The longest predefined data list is 'Type status' at 30 items, yet type specimens are separated out of the collections, so at least for now this is an edge case.
For Geographical region it is 12 items max.
Perhaps shuffling these to have the most used near the top could improve digitization speed?
At one point a query for most used Geo regions could be made and we could decide if a tweak is necessary.
All in all, I don't see a strong case for implementing auto-suggest for predefined data fields.
