    In the upper left click Batch, then click Settings, then click Auto Complete and you can adjust the settings there.

    Update - It's been broken for me and many others since last night. FamilySearch is aware of the problem.

    I did this & have it on ON Keep Project Details - it shows a pull down list on Last names & still does not auto fill it from last name typed. I put it on Turn ON for all fields & it did the same only ading all typed given names in pull down list. So I must still be doing something wrong>

    Thanks so much!! I hope I can figure this out beforing calling it in!!! Thanks again!!

    It's odd. Is it happening in multiple projects? Or just one? You might try clearing your cookies at familysearch.org/cookies

    Hopefully it will be fixed soon. You don't even think about how much you like it when it's working right!😀
