Tabbing to the next collumn

Question

Our finance team cannot tab from a text field to a lookup column inside a Microsoft list form. We've changed the column from a drop down to a look up to try to fix the issue but nothing has worked. Just looking for suggestions since these people process several invoices a day. It's slowing them down a bit.

Hi @Coleman, Tomi,

To better understand whether this is a list-specific issue or a broader behavior with Microsoft Lists, could you please try a few quick tests?

• Test the same scenario in Microsoft Edge InPrivate mode and, if possible, in another browser such as Chrome.
• Create a simple test list containing just a text column followed by a lookup column, then check whether pressing Tab moves the cursor to the lookup field as expected.
• Let me know whether the issue occurs only in one specific list or across multiple lists.

Additionally, if you could provide a few more details, that would be very helpful: Are you using the default Microsoft Lists form, or a customized form (for example, a Power Apps customized form)?

Once you have the results of these tests, please reply with your findings. That information should help narrow down the cause and identify the most appropriate next steps.

Looking forward to your update.
