Can't select string table entry (none exist)

Unity 2021.3.8f1, Localization 1.3.2

Unity doesn’t show any string table entry in the drop-down. This used to work in earlier versions, so either it’s a new feature that I don’t understand or it’s not working anymore.

I have a string table in the project. I can also add new table entries. However, I can’t select a table entry anymore. The LocalizedString UI still provides the ability to select a Table Collection, but it doesn’t provide the ability to select an entry anymore.

The Description String you see in the screenshot is just this:

[SerializeField] LocalizedString m_DescriptionString;

What am I doing wrong?

Ah yes this is a new feature. We are now using the Unity Search System, if you start typing then it should start to show results.

There has been some feedback about this already, its not obvious what you need to do. We will improve this in the future. You can also switch back to the old system in the Preferences for now.

I just ran into the problem with no strings listed in the latest LTS version of Unity, and I lost a bunch of time until I found this thread. Thankfully I was able to switch back to the old dropdown to fix it.

We have fixed this issue in the next release which should be available early next year.
