Trying to make abbreviations used as searchable for proper names of States. I.E. when you put in WA, the state of Washington would auto-populate.

You tagged the post as "Forms Layout Designer" meaning the Modern/New designer.  You can't alter the built-in functionality of fields in the Modern designer.

I think your best bet is to either:

  1. Have two fields - one for entering the abbreviation, and the second to populate the full name based on the first field.
    or
  2. Include the Abbreviations in the names, like UT-Utah, TX-Texas, etc.

Thank you. I went with the second option.
