Search/Filter on Metadata Lists
For those lists of metadata values that have lots of fields (e.g. CRM Entities, Custom SharePoint Lists), it could be difficult to scroll through and find the values to be updated. Search and filter options have been added to the column headers in the metadata list, as shown below:

The metadata list is returned in the order they exist in the SharePoint list by default. Fields can now be sorted alphabetically or a filter can be applied. Alternatively, search for the field by typing search criteria in the Search textbox. |
