Searching custom fields in Maniphest (Phabricator)

Question

I set up a custom field in Maniphest as a drop down. It assigns the correct value to each task, but the copy and search function don't work at all.

If I try to search by a value in this field, everything comes up matching all the other search criteria and ignores my custom field.

If I create a similar task, it always defaults back to the first option in the list.

{
 "my-comp:task-type": {
    "name": "Type",
    "type": "select",
    "options": {
      "my-comp:bug": "Bug",
      "my-comp:feature": "Feature",
      "my-comp:ui": "UI",
      "my-comp:improve": "Improvement",
      "my-comp:misc": "Misc",
      "my-comp:planning": "Planning"
    },
    "required": true,
    "search": true,
    "copy": true
  }
}

Copy currently doesn't work: T8055. There doesn't appear to be a workaround offered at this time.

As for the search, what version are you running? I am running commit 2eab1c1943c511 from the stable branch and I am not experiencing the issue. I also upgraded to f2b2264e8def0a and I still didn't have the issue. I think you may need to upgrade your version of Phabricator.
