How do I get List Collector to use AJAXTableCompleter

[samfindlay1]

Take the Caller field on the Incident table for example:

Any partial match of a string returns a result, this is not the default functionality for List Collectors on the Service Catalog, for example..

Searching from start of a string returns a match

But a partial match does not return a result

How can I apply the logic of dictionary attribute AJAXTableCompleter to a List Collector variable in the Service Catalog?

Sam . . . did you find your answer. Older post wasn't sure, if not I can show you how to make it work.

I Michael.

Yes I did find a solution. I actually raised a ticket on HI and their response helped me resolve the issue.

Here is the solution from HI Support if anyone else has this issue:

Please do the following:

1. Log in as Admin and go to Dictionary Module

2. On list view filter on table =[table of reference name here. For me it was 'u_application']

3. On List view filter on type = Collection

4. You should have one record there - got to attributes column and double click to edit and add this attribute "ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter" (without the double quotes) then save it.

5. Got to User Preferences Module - filter on Name = sys_user.autocomplete.contains

6. Open the record and replace Name with "[table of reference name here. For me it was 'u_application'].autocomplete.contains" and then click "insert" or "insert and stay".

Regardless, thanks for reaching out Michael.

I just found that exact way too for something I was working on and I remember you asked about it!

Thanks

Hi,

Does anyone know if this solution works on Istanbul?   I have the same need and did apply the steps listed above, but it is not working.

Thanks,
