Grid and tree filtering using an attribute?

Post by andreic »

Hi,
I thought it would be possible to filter grids and trees using an attribute. This does not seem to be the case.

I created an example where a grid and a tree are filtered using an attribute or a literal string to test this.

In this example, Part1 contains all other Parts. The rest should be self-explanatory.

EDIT: Found also that literal filtering works only for the first level, it doesn't work on the next levels, as expected. The new bsv includes Parts on a second level to show this also.

EDIT2: I consider this to be related to my other post about settings not being considered for lower level Parts (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12441). The lower level parts are definitely processed differently than the first level ones (here there is no additional Assembly object) and I think that's what's causing this inconsistent behavior.

bsv attached:

No you cannot use filtering beyond the first level.

The Kendo framework allows it but AIM does not.

And not being able to filter with an attribute instead of a literal string?

Having a tree that doesn't filter all levels doesn't make sense..

Raise it as a Wish List item. I've personally been asking for trees in queries and the ability to filter all levels for about 5 years.

OK, well then, to support:

Having a tree that doesn't filter on all levels makes this widget practically useless (at least in any scenario I can think of) and this should be fixed.

I'd appreciate any response and/or any suggestion on how to work around this limitation in the meantime.

Thank you.
