If a column in a list view is from another table, I am not able to search the choice list however, I can do 'show Matching'

In my application, a couple of fields/columns are from a different table. When in List View, I see the values/data in those fields. But when I want to do a search using the List View Search, it yields NO data, however, I can do 'show Matching or Filter Out functions. Is there any way to have these two columns/fields do a search on its own table, sort of dot. walking?

Hi Minaz,



yes we have to use dot walking for that,


consider an example if in an incident table i want a field from company i have to select company first and then again when i click on selected company i will get the field of company table so that i can select the required field from company table.


below thread will give you a clear idea:


Dot-walking in choice list fields



hope this helps


Thank you Mayur for your answer.


What you have described and what is in that document is about the SETUP or Configuration of a List View Column from a different table. All that is working fine. I have the required Column listed and I can also see the records from that field. My issue is when I do a search, it does not fetch the information. For example: my field name is State and it is from Asset.Server Tables. This column has about five choices. In Use, Retired, Decommissioned, etc. When I display the list view, it shows all the servers with their respective choice values, however, when I do a List View Search, it does not display any records.
