Drop Down Selection List in Description?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Correct. There is no drop down list, but there is an auto-fill functionality which is what you are seeing.

If you really want it as a drop-down, you’d have to file that as an enhancement request on Bugzilla.

The auto-fill seems to work well enough, but it would be nice to edit this source because it also remembers misspellings.

Regards,
Adrien
