Feature Request: Allow manual drop-down values in report filtering

asked on June 21, 2018

I'm creating custom reports for a school that should compile a list of students who have opted not to have their directory information shared.  I would like to filter it by campus so that each campus has their own report that only displays their students, but since that field is a drop-down that gets populated off of a lookup there aren't any available values to select in the filter, and it won't let me manually type what value by which to filter.

I know I could change the drop-down to a single line field, or add a hidden single line field that gets autofilled with the value of the drop-down and use that to filter, but that's a lot of modification to a lot of similar forms; it would be great to be able to just manually type a value to look for in the drop-down.

Hi Dennis, 

 

Thanks for the feature request! We are working on a new reporting tool that will allow you to create the report with drop down values from lookup. The target release date will be towards end of the this year.

Awesome, thanks for the update!  This is the first I've really start to get into the reporting and I think it can be a really useful tool for us, I'm glad to see it getting some more attention

Hello, I am looking for exactly the same thing today. Is the option to select dropdown values from lookup available ? Or either just to be able to free type a value ?

Thanks

Veronique

I'm running version 10.4.1.164 and it is not available for me.  I ended up having the drop-down selection copy into a hidden single line field to accomplish this

Sorry for the late response, we planned to improve the behavior in next release by allowing typing value in the input so you can type any value.
