substringof not working on Dataverse list rows action

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi Folks,

 

I'm trying to apply substringof filter in Dataverse list rows action and it returning below error:

 

rbn_nue_0-1689096630986.png

 

 

An unknown function with name 'substringof' was found. This may also be a function import or a key lookup on a navigation property, which is not allowed.

 

contains also not working. 

 

Can any one suggest a fix.


Thanks,

Robin

    Hi Robin

    The equivalent filter operator for Dataverse is contains()

    Here is an example

    contains(crf0e_incidentnumber, 'A6788')

    I recommend using the FetchXML Builder tool to build the filter query if you are not familiar with the filter operators. Here are a couple of blog posts from the community on how to use the tool to generate the filter rows parameter.

    That worked as expected.
