Reference List Filter

Not applicable

I have a form which contains a lookup and references a second table. This works fine.

However, I want to place a filter on this list to only return records that match a criteria.

I defined a filter on my referenced table and called it 'sys_ref_list'.

Now, when I perform a lookup, the pop up window displays my custom filter by default BUT I have to click on run for it to complete.

I do not want any manual intervention and would like this query to run automatically.

Have you checked out Reference Qualifiers?

I am already using the reference qual to perform another query.

Can you please advise why the filter does not run by default?


I'm not sure. I don't even know what the intended behavior is with a filter set up like that. We do use it like that in one other place (for Workflow) but I'm seeing the same thing you are in my testing. You may have to reach out to support on this question. Please post any answer you get back here.


Any update on this? I'm trying to add an "order by" condition to a related list (something that even this found functionality does not support).

I supposed one could add an "onQuery" business rule to sort, but that would override anyone's preferences.
