Research domain dropdown #3759

Research domain dropdown does not work

Results in new datasets not being able to be submitted
Datasets unable to be submitted

This appears to be caused when there is content present in the field. When the field is empty, the dropdown works correctly.

Workaround: If you select the contents of the field and delete them, then clicking on the field again will bring up the selection list.

A subtle issue is related to the browser:

Safari: Works fine
Firefox: User must click on the box twice, but then it works
Chrome: Works fine

This appears to be a problem with the HTML datalist between different browsers: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75946314/html-input-datalist-not-allowing-a-reselect-of-option

In the submission redesign we have removed this and we are using a more standard search-and-select component.

Doing that in the existing system requires a lot of edits throughout the code, so in the meantime I will just change the production system code to use a standard select element (without typing to search).
