Hi,

it seems filtering isn't working when the column has a uniquename that is different from the field name. No filtering happens regardless of type of filter, isreadonly etc. The issue can easily be reproduced with your hard-coded demo data.

Can you confirm this or am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround?

Thx & regards
Frank

Hi frankd,

Just tested and it seems that filter expressions are applied and working. I tested with a column for which  the FieldName is "ContactName" and UniqueName is "column2" and it has a filter expression that is set in design time.

However, you should check if you have values serialized for the FieldAlias property, because if its value is different from the FieldName property, the filter expressions may not work.

If that is not the case it will be most helpful if you can send us a sample project that demonstrates the issue or at least give us more detail about your case. You can do so in a support ticket.

Jordan,

thanks for looking into this.

I have a column with FieldAlias = FieldName = UniqueName = 'PRO_CODE'. At run-time I can set filter criteria OK, everything is fine.
Once I change UniqueName to, say, 'PRO_CODE_Column', run-time filtering on this column stops working (remains working for all other columns). If I revert to PRO_CODE, erverything is fine again.

The difference between my scenario and the one you tested seems to be 'design time' vs. 'run time' - I haven't checked design time filtering yet.

For the moment I have re-named my columns, but I believe the issue is still there.

Thx & regards

Hi frankd,

This issue is due to the complex dependencies between properties like FieldName, UniqueName and FieldAlias.
We are aware of this issue and it will be fixed in the next release.
