Creating new model portfolio is very glitchy
In the last few days, i've noticed that typing when creating a new model portfolio becomes very glitchy.
I create a new model portfolio, and the cursor skips letters and lags. Similarly, when i try to type in a new ticker to the model, the entire dropdown bar loads while it searches for that ticker, making it very slow to add new tickers.
Also, i've noticed that i cannot type in a new ticker and navigate with arrows, or hit enter, to select, forcing me to manually click on the correct security (even though it is always the top one when i type out the name). Likewise, if i add a few securities to a model portfolio, it is not letting me tab or arrow down to type in the weight of the securities. I recall all these being features before, but it seems like a new bug

Hey Owen, we don't support that kind of tab and keyboard movement in Model Portfolios, so that isn't a bug. We appreciate this would be a solid feature enhancement though. Moreover, we don't support hitting enter on the ticker picker. We've never had this functionality. We have supported 'tab' since inception, but it only goes one space to the right, not down or up (I appreciate this isn't as useful as it could be).
For the speed issue, how many allocation periods and holdings are these in the portfolio, approx?

Conor MacNeil Sorry, i'm might have been mixing the laggyness with feature requests :)
on the speed - for context on my setup, I have maybe 10 total model portfolios in my account and 4 total tabs open right now, and no other programs running in the background, so shouldn't be a PC issue for me. I'm using this on Chrome.
I start a new portfolio. I click add new, start from scratch, and click into the field to begin typing in the name, I want to say "conservative asset management allocation". i type it quickly, and the cursor pauses at points, so my field says "conerave asset managmet allcation" because the type cursor randomly pauses(? lags? glitches? not quite sure). Another example - I try to type "60/40 Blend - Retiree" and get "60/40 Bend - Reiee". I screen recorded it to try to show you the lag i'm seeing. https://www.loom.com/share/9060a02bbb5d4173b079b209e0010620

Sunglow Angelfish: A Loom user... I love it. Really helps.
I can see internally that an engineer of ours noticed this issue on Friday and flagged it for QA testing. Specifically, the laggy name input issue.
I am going to put this ticket into bugs and we'll update the ticket as we push it through the stages of a solution. Hopefully we can address this quickly as Models are an integral workflow at Koyfin. Thanks for sharing this video.
