Autocomplete: Search over multiple attributes in the same entity

0

Hi, How can I let the autocomplete widget search over more than one attribute within the same entity? At the moment I configured the widget search settings Search – XPath. I can fill in only one attribute to search over. The intention in my case is, to search over both entity name and entity employeenumber.

You can use the microflow option for that. In the microflow you can define your own retrieve action. The only thing is that you have to add a searchfield to your entity in order to get the searchvalue into the microflow. (Or you can use a non-persistent object wrapped around it of course).

You could create an attribute wich is made from the 2 attributes you need the search on. Like:

Attribute1-attribute2

You can fill that New attribute in a before commit and then set that attribute to search on
