Add pre-search filter to a lookup column in a grid

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Osman Esen 8

I am currently struggling with a pre-search filter that should be applied to a "Crossing Group" lookup, so the lookup should only displays those 3 Crossing Groups that are added to the grid (marked with green).

I am trying to use the addCustomFilter method, but this cannot be applied to an "attribute" but only to a "control". Are there any ways to add a pre-search filter in a grid column ?. 

My code:


var gridContextRoyaltyTemplate = formContext.getControl("nf_royalty_template_grid");
var royaltyGridRows = gridContextRoyaltyTemplate.getGrid().getRows();
    royaltyGridRows.forEach(function (row, i) {
        var rowEntity  = row.data.entity;
        var crControl = rowEntity.attributes.getByName("nf_crossing_group").getControl("nf_crossing_group");
        var nameValue = crControl.getValue();
        var fetchQuery = "<filter type='and'>" +
        "<condition attribute='nf_contract_rights_in' operator='eq' value='" + contractId + "' />" +
    "</filter>";
       
        crControl.addCustomFilter(fetchQuery);
      });

    @OsmanEsen 

    I am afraid this might not be possible using the PreSearch filter , as per the documentation it is available for formContext not gridContext

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/controls/addcustomfilter

     

    The alternative way would be to do it using a custom PCF control.
