Posted on by IulianBurlacu

I have the following case:

In my form , after I pres the first search button I get a list of items.

In the list of items ,there is a type column.

I need to filter the results of the next lookup field based on the type value.

Is the any way to get the type value of the selected row in the list with javascript and filter with that ?

Hi @IulianBurlacu

I think for your use case. You can implement a metadata filter. Adding reference below

official URL: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/configure/entity-lists

Additional info:

https://softchief.com/2021/08/23/step-by-step-enable-configure-metadata-filters-for-entity-list-in-power-portal-for-products/

so you can have a metadata filter for any columns you like.

Hope it helps.

thank you for your answer, but I want the filtering to happen behind the scenes. In other words ... I want to implement something like this code:
$(document).ready(function (){ $(".entitylist.entity-grid").on("loaded", function () { $(this).children(".view-grid").find("tr").each(function (){ // do something with each row $(this).css("background-color", "yellow"); }); }); });
to my first lookup modal / view !
Where can I find that view ? Should I just write the javascript in the basic form?
I have seen some elegant solution that @OliverRodrigues was suggesting but I dont know how to get the elements of that lookup modal.

I converted the lookup to a dropdown and filtered the results with the help of webapi. So I solved one problem but I'm still having problems finding the right selectors for different modals on the page when inspecting it. Its a lot of detective work involved which takes a lot of time.
I'd love some tips and tricks on that one or maybe some real consulting time.
