Description

New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
Current Limitation

https://github.com/parse-community/parse-dashboard/pull/2463 introduced auto-complete in the filter dialog. However, it's usability should be improved. When opening the filter dialog, a key is pre-selected and needs to be manually deleted for the whole key list to become visible. This can be more time consuming than before the auto-complete feature was added.

Feature / Enhancement Description

Behavior when opening empty filter dialog (without any filter set), and when clicking on the "Add" button to add a new filter condition:

  • Auto-focus on key text field
  • Do not pre-select any field, i.e. the key text field should be empty and the whole key list should be visible

Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request #2463 and the filter dialog's autocomplete implementation. Reproduce opening an empty filter dialog and clicking "Add" to compare the current focus and key-selection behavior. Done means the key field is focused, empty, and shows the full key list in both cases.
