Hi ,

 

I have a requirement to make list collector's search use "contains" methodology instead of using wildcard. This is to make the variable more user friendly. I already have glide.ui.goto_use_contains property set to true but its not working. Any suggestions please?

Regards,

Anshu

I think you need to set the User preference "TABLE.autocomplete.contains" to get what you want.

So for incident table it would be

User Preference

Name: incident.autocomplete.contains
System: True
Value: true

This will impact the whole system not just the one place you are looking for.

I did just verify this and you do need to add the autocomplete user preference and then you need to logout and back in before it will take affect.
