Grid2 drop down filter does not work on text fields

0
This is another important piece of functionality that is now lost if you move to grid2.  I guess this could be a bug?  When using the drop down filter to select values in a related table in a many to one relationship, you are not able to select a text field, only boolean and enums.    Hopefully we can also resolve the issue with not being able to select any values at all in the one to many relationships.   thanks

Hello Joe,

 

This is expected behavior, not a bug. In Data Grid 2, the Drop-down filter only supports Boolean and Enumeration attributes, so you can’t target a String attribute directly.

 

Workaround (many-to-one): The correct approach for many-to-one is to filter by the association: select the column’s attribute (e.g., Name), select the reference (association), and use a datasource to supply the selectable objects (e.g., a DS microflow returning all Companies). Then set the caption to the text field (Name) .
