0024074: Wish history and autocomplete input fields to save time
Input fields don't have history of input
and
they do not autocomplete by using the history when typing in them.

These two functionalities would save a lot of time while working...
see above
No tags attached.

This kind of functionalities usually are implemented by the browser.
We use autocomplete="off" because this behavior is a security risk, due that a user could see the information written by a different user.

To do a proper management of this feature, a new type of input should be built, where the suggestion box is self made and other already saved values for the same input (and values where the current logged user has access to) should be shown. Something similar like MS Excel does, when you type, it tries to autocomplete with other already writen values for the same column.

If there is any particular input where you have recurrent values, I would suggest to implement it as a list.
