Is it possible to make a filter default in a Reference field?

Hi All,

All I want to do is to make my filter default (in a pop up window of a reference field), but I don't know how to do.

Could you please give me some advice to me?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is a pop up window of a reference field (sys_user table).

Usually it is not narrowed down, hence All users are always shown.

Is it possible to set the filter from the moment that I opened the reference field?

I have made my filter (red out),

I guess my wish will come true by setting the red-out be defaulted....

(Reference Qualifiers is NOT good because it does not display Breadcrumbs)

Hi Tomoaki,



The only way to make a filter on the reference field is with a reference qualifier. As you noted, there are no breadcrumbs - because the intent is to not allow the user to modify the filter.



There is currently no way to specify a default filter with editable breadcrumbs afterwards.
