Hi guys,

I know this is old question. But since the evolution of D365FO, may I know if I have Display method in a grid (list), how to filter it ?

Thanks.

Yes correct - a display only field will have a method behind it, rather than showing you the contents of a field in a table, view, or query. Therefore sorting isn't possible,

Hi Teevo,

You can't filter a display method. You need to convert it to an actual field if possible (in case filtering is really needed)

Hi,

If a grid column has a Display method and is display only, it cannot be filtered directly through the grid's built-in filtering functionality. You can create a new column in the grid by adding a calculated or derived column based on the logic of the Display method, so you can use this new column to filter.

Best regards,

Kevin
