long param drop down list - can an extension be used to recognize letters you are typing to jump further down the list?

Question

hi we run 2014 currently. 2019 in the not too distant future.

i know ssrs cant recognize in a long param drop down what you are typing and move down the list like a lot of other reporting tools do.

is there a way thru an extension that a drop down can be sensitive to and jump alphabetically per the letters you are typing? I know there is an approach out there where a wild card is entered in a different param but that sounds limiting to me in a mult select scenario.

Answer 1

we have some evidence that off the shelf in 2014, with a single select (from many values) , typing a letter or character moves the param list accordingly. like a wild card would do. even for one of our params that is enclosed in brackets.
