Metadata - Dynamic Fields - DirectSQL

asked one day ago

Morning!

I'm experimenting with the new "Data Query as a source for Metadata" drop-downs options.

Seem to be hitting a strange roadblock, wherein I cannot pick any field other than the field I am in as a parameter for the data query.  Of course, when you select that field (just to sense-check the logic) it is flagged up as an error.

I have tried doing this from scratch, checking that the field types match, tried the Data Query on both fields (whichever field you have selected for the Dynamic Rule application appears as the only option for the parameter).

Hoping this is a bug fix and not hardcore ineptitude on my part!

Screenshots above.

param_surnames is a Text field and not involved in any other operations (literally a new field)

dropdown_picklist is a dropdown that is meant to be populated with the query results

Really fun behaviour I have also noted...if you delete the Rule without finishing it off then the dropdown immediately turns into a list of radio buttons!

Any ideas?  

Thanks,

Justin

That is a current limitation of the user interface. Updates to it to allow reuse of the same query in multiple fields is currently scheduled for next month.
