Posted on by 2,422

Good morning,

I am creating a repor and I have contract class in that i have taken list for multi selection lookup amd when i try to enter different values like 1,2  which are not even present in actual custom lookup.

So how can i validate these kind of situation.

Please show some light on this.

Regards,

Have a great day.

    I'm getting lost here. The multi value lookup is not intended to type a value manually. I'm not able to follow what you are trying to mention in your last comment. Can you possibly add some screenshots to illustrate the behavior?

    Hi Andre,

    To reproduce that just type abc in multi lookup field which is not present in lookup

    and then mouse click would be inside that field only.Do not do mouse click outside the field.

    if i click mouse outside  it will clear the value.

    How this can be validated is this standard bug ?

    Regards.

    Hi AX 2012 r3,

    Usually, the multi lookup is not allowing to manually type the values. It would use the selected records to update the text box. For this reason, I have never searched for a validation like you are mentioning here.

    Hi Blue Wang,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am not looking for any filter on lookup.

    I am mentioning clearly

    1.on the multi selection field do not select lookup arrow mark but enter random values like 1,2 then the fact is the entered values are not even exist in lookup.

    So how can I validate this.

    Regards

    HI  AX2012,

    Are you talking about finding multiple columns at the same time, or can you search across multiple columns?

    If it's the latter, you can take a look at this. stoneridgesoftware.com/creating-a-custom-lookup-in-dynamics-ax-that-filters-across-multiple-fields
