Hi,

I've been struggling for days with this problem.

I've got a simple select field set up with field x. I manage to get data in and out the way I want to, but I can not search based on the selection made with Field X..

I've tried a lot of different versions of the storage settings, but the closest I got to getting the search to work was just a hit on one of the added values with Field X...

Have others managed to get this to work? How is the setup?

Hi Kenneth,

try to add the same storage to the field which is used in your fieldX as the fieldX itself.


For example, if I want to replicate X times a text field to get some answers, I would do like that :

  • Field Text "Answer" : None
  • FieldX "Answers" : Custom | article | answers[answer]


In the search, use an alias of your text field, with the storage : 

  • Field Text Alias "Answer (bis)" : Custom | Free | #__the_good_table | answers


Best regards.

Lionel
