Hello Everyone,

I want to apply a dynamic fetchxml filter having link entity on a text field. Normally we change the input type to text (using this article) and set the text through js but for this particular case it is not working.

<link-entity name="new_service" from="new_serviceid" to="new_service" link-type="inner" adx:uiname="User">
 <filter type="or" adx:uiinputtype="dynamic">
 <condition value="" attribute="new_user1" operator="like" adx:uiinputtype="dynamic" />
 <condition value="" attribute="new_user2" operator="like" adx:uiinputtype="dynamic" />
 <condition value="" attribute="new_user3" operator="like" adx:uiinputtype="dynamic" />
 </filter>
</link-entity>

For static values it works, but when I make it dynamic, it doesn't work. (above query is for dynamic, below is for static)

<link-entity name="new_service" from="new_serviceid" to="new_service" link-type="inner" adx:uiname="User">
 <filter type="or" >
 <condition value="Alex" attribute="new_user1" operator="like" />
 <condition value="Bob" attribute="new_user2" operator="like" />
 <condition value="Charlie" attribute="new_user3" operator="like" />
 </filter>
</link-entity>

Thank you in advance.

Hi @anwarluck ,
Unfortunately, you cannot dynamically filter like that for linked entities.

Hi @OOlashyn , thanks for the reply!

So just to confirm, the way we change filter for fields within same entity can't be done for linked entity?
Can you also please refer me to the related docs?

Correct, you cannot do it for linked entity. Regarding docs - you will find none, as this functionality is officially unsupported. This is part of the original ADXStudio portal functionality and to be honest I am surprised it still works. I will be in general careful with using it as it might be removed with any update of Power Pages.
