How to create a lookup field in a custom page?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 12

I have a custom page which I open as a modal in a Model Driven app. I need to create a lookup to account. What is the best implementation?

 

In canvas app we can create a new search screen, but custom pages cannot have several pages.

I tried at dropdown field, but it seems to have limititions. I only see first accounts starting on A....(have not counted, but guess it is a limit om 100-200?)

 

I don't want to use a gallery because this is a small modal window... I hope the way to go is not show hide a gallery on top...which is the only solution that cross my mind...

    You could try using a combobox rather than a dropdown. Compared to a dropdown, users can type into and search the items in a combobox, so that could provide an alternate option.

    Are you using a combobox control, as that includes the ability to search and won't be limited to 100-200 records.

    Yes, I am using a Combobox, but thats actually limited to a specific amount of records.
