can I actually feed it:

    "<link-entity name='productpricelevel' from='productid' to='productid' link-type='inner' alias='ab'>" +
      "<filter type='and'>" +
        "<condition attribute='pricelevelid' operator='in'>" +
          "<value uitype='pricelevel'>" + dfltPxLstId + "</value>" +
          "<value uitype='pricelevel'>" + MQpxLstId + "</value>" +
        "</condition>" +
      "</filter>" +
    "</link-entity>"

does it just insert/replace the text between <order /> and </entity>

thanks

    Hi,

    You can't use linked entity in the xml, it has to be direct filters to the main entity. refer below thread-

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    addPreSeach filter can't have a complex query like link-entity. You can add only entity level filtering attribute. 

    This is an example of addPreSearchFilter:

    function AddPreSearchToAccount(executionContext) {

    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

       formContext .getControl("parentaccountid").addPreSearch(FilterLookup);

    }

    function FilterLookup(formContext ) {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
       var fetchXML = "<filter type=\"and\">" +
                                 "<condition value=\"New York\" attribute=\"address1_city\" operator=\"eq\" />" +
                                 "</filter>";
     
      formContext.getControl("parentaccountid").addCustomFilter(fetchXML);
    }
     
    To add a complex query to filter the lookup kindly use a addCustomView
