Dynamic Filter Options for Non-Reference Fields

[mikkojuola]

Hello Community!

I have one, hopefully simple, question related to Condition Builder. In ServiceNow Docs, the Dynamic Filter Options are described in a way, that those can (only) be used with Reference fields: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/xanadu-platform-user-interface/page/use/using-lists/task/t_Dynami...

But, when looking at the form, one can also select other Field Types, like a String. Does anyone know, if Dynamic Filter Options can be used for other than Reference fields? (It seems not)

Thank you all for your input, already in advance 🙂

Cheers,

In theory you can, but what are you looking for? 

You can check on the OOB examples that use 'string' as field type. You will see numbers and names coming by a lot.

Hi Mark,

I'm looking for "scripted conditions" that check for different patterns or even a simple length of the text input.  For example "list all business applications where description is less than 100 characters long" or "list of servers that doesn't match with a particular naming convention (pattern/regex)."

We have our own Store app, which utilizes Condition Builder extensively. We would like to use this "Dynamic Filter Option" since it would be an out-of-the-box way of adding scripts to conditions.

So, how to turn "in theory" into "in practice" 🙂
