Posted on by Catalinas 20

Hi, is there a way to filter a Multi Select Lookup field by other? For example:

I want to filter the "Subcategoría" by the "Categoría" and both fields are Multi Select Lookup Control

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Catalinas,

    Unfortunately, there is no OOB way to filter Multi Select Lookup Control. And I also try JS to achieve this. However, Multi Select Lookup Control doesn't support  addCustomFilter.

    You could submit an idea here to progress this feature:

    Hi Catalinas,

    In case filtration is not available on the multi-select option set. You can achieve your requirement using custom many-to-many relationships. In your custom table responsible to maintain the many-many relationships. You can filter a lookup on the basis of another lookup using related filter functionality on the main form. I think it is a good workaround for you.

    Multi Select Lookup Filtered
    Hey there user,
     
    There is actually a solution now. 
     
    How you achieve it is :
     
    Say you want Subcategories and Service Families filtered by category.
     
    1. You would need a regular lookup field of the entity contained in your multiselect lookup control.
    2. A text field named DefaultViewKey.
     
    Then on your Javascript you can use the addCustomView on your regular lookup field, then set the view ID to the Default View Key. In parallel, the default view id for your multiselect lookup control should be pointing to the field we created in step 2.
    You can hide both the above fields, and the default view for your multiselect lookup field, will now be the one you defined for the regular lookup fields.
     
    Let me know if you need more help with it.
