Portal metafilter - fetchxml

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi all,

I've been putting together some fetchxml metafilters and the following one used to work for any text string (%value%). However, something has changed somewhere, and the opening wildcard no longer works. Does anyone have any ideas?

</filter>

rendered with:

{% if filter.label =='Organisation' %}

</label>

</div>

</li>

{% endif %}

Hi, I am just not sure about the syntax in your fetch/filter.. I believe you need to add the fetch header as well (entity details etc)

Take a look at this to see if it helps: http://oliverrodrigues365.com/2020/04/26/power-apps-portals-entity-list-conditional-action/

I am not aware of any changes from Microsoft on that area, if it doesn't work you will probably have to open a ticket with Microsoft

Thanks Oliver, its an odd one as the filter works fine more or less - the second % wildcard does what it's supposed to and a manually input '*' in the text field works as the 1st wildcard. My problem is that I don't want users to have to use a manual wildcard. I think it's somewhere in the ?mf string parsing, but I'm not quite sure why...

Are you rendering your Entity List via custom Liquid?

I remember in the past adding a JavaScript to include the * whenever a user triggers the search

the idea is to add the * in the beginning of the search term, and then when the page loads, you validate that and remove the * if it's present

Thanks Oliver,
I'm using standard(ish) rendering:
{% entitylist id:page.adx_entitylist.id %}
{% entityview id:"6c5705db-e507-eb11-a813-000d3a7f5de9", search:params.search, order:params.order, page:params.page, pagesize:params.pagesize, metafilter:params.mf %}

I was thinking around the JavaScript, but it is *not* my area of expertise? Do you have any ideas about how I would do it? It probably plays into a different problem I have as well, where the input data clears of the metafilter boxes on submit.
