Smart Group Criterion

Recently, the ability to manually type in strings to smart group criterion has changed.  Now, you have to hit the ellipsis (3 dots ...) button to match your entered string to a smart group before it is accepted and can be saved.  Previously, I could just type in the name and if the name matched a smart group, I was able to save, otherwise, the UI would give me an error saying that group name couldn’t be found.  But it was easier and quicker because I didn't have to deal with the lookup process.

Has anyone else seen this?
 

I submitted a support ticket on this and was told by multiple reps this is now the only supported option and is the expected behavior.  Therefore, I have filed a feature request to bring back the old entry method so I (and you) can manually type in a group name.  Please look at the request and upvote to get Jamf’s attention on this.
