1. Go to requisition >> open any candidate's application
2. Attempt to edit and update the custom object field.
3. Observe that the values are not in  alphabetical order nor the field does filter results effectively when typing and only bolds visible selections, making it difficult to find the desired value for the user

Object contains hundreds of values.

When the object in question here contains hundreds of values. As per KBA https://me.sap.com/notes/3634931/E this is a known limitation of Application Object fields when the same field contains hundreds of Object values.

The page reverts to batch loading of entries when more than 200 object entries are present within the object, causing batch loading of values which does not allow for typeahead.

Reducing the number of entries with parent child relationships should allow for the behaviour to work.
