Changing Description Calculation for TppAutoSearchField.

rbuser

I am not sure if this question was answered. I apologize if it was.

The name of the column can be changed via the FieldAlias. We have over 100
custom autosearches and the alias naming works great. But what I'm looking
for is the changing of the value displayed.

Example:

"Show all data where Department Id is in list... DEMO1223232, DEMO1223233,
DEMO1223234".

I want to change the DEMO1223232, DEMO1223233, DEMO1223234 to Department A,
Department B, Department C.

Any ideas?

The data values aren't aliased and it isn't supposed to be customizable as
it is the actual data values. You'll have to create a custom autosearch
dialog to display different text visually than what you want to use as
values in the search expression of the autosearch field object. There is an
example of creating a custom autosearch dialog in the
RBuilder\Demos\Autosearch directory.
