Exclude A Parent Node When Filtering

[Troy]

I'm wondering if it's possible to exclude parent nodes in the treelist when using a filter. For example, let's say we have the following data:

 

Animal: {
    id: 1
    parentId: null
    name: "Animal"
}

Dog: {
    id: 2
    parentId: 2
    name: "Dog"
}

 

When I populate a treelist with this data, I filter by the string "dog". What displays is the parent node "Animal" with the child node of "Dog". I'd like to only display the child node "Dog" since it matches my filter. Is this possible or does the parent node always have to be present?

Hello Troy,

No, this is not supported. TreeList filtering is recursive and parent nodes will be preserved. Otherwise the widget will not be able to visualize the path from the root to the matched node.
