Search inside a reference nested table

Hi,

Is there a way for the search field to also find values that appear in the nested tables on the opening page? I have made all the fields searchable but still nothing. In the screen shot below, Iโ€™d like to be able to type โ€œShantalโ€ and get the โ€œApple Tree Albertonโ€ record to come up, however, when I do, I just get a blank. Is there anything else I should be doing? Or is there a workaround?

Regards
Hani

Hi @Tias_Muesli

I donโ€™t know if this is possible, I think itโ€™s not.

However, here is my suggestion ( I didnโ€™t try it):

  • add a virtual column, type Text, expression:
    CONCATENATE([Related Contacts][Name])
  • set show_if condition on this column:
    CONTEXT("View")="Opening Page"
  • tick the Search property ON.

Wow! Thank you so much! It worked!
