Can you search for a set of values instead of just one?

[#1]

Hey all. So I've got an ID field in a listbox. Usually we just search for one value at a time to filter down, but what if we had a set of values that we want to search for? That is, we have a predefined set of values that we want to apply as a filter for a field. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for the help!

Hi,

If I understand your question right, I think the solution is to make an expression in the listbox.

So, when creating a list box don't pick a field, but scroll and click on expression. There you can create your set of data and give it a name.

Kind regards,

Henco

Hi,

You can do multiple shearch using " ", for example: "value1","value2","value3"

Hope this helps

Regards!

Ahh dangit! There seems to be a character limit in the search box. Is there a way to change the character limit for searches either in a list box or a search object? Or is there another way to paste in a set of values to apply to a filter?
