Hey André,

Thanks again for your help. Seems not easy. but I definitely will find a time and try it out.

This sounds like a solution to "add a custom filter which does join/saw sql". However, what if i want to customise the search field, which could be created / added as one of the condition?

e.g "Assigned To".

currently, it only has the option of "is any of" and "is not any of". how could i customise it to have the option of "is not empty"?

e.g. "Open Only"

'open_only' =>
array (
'dbFields' =>
array (
0 => 'status',
),
'type' => 'bool',
'vname' => 'LBL_OPEN_ITEMS',
),

the option is "is true or false". i understand it should be like this. however, because back in years ago, we completely changed the value of "case_status_dom". i am guessing by default, when it is selected as true, sugar would try to look for status which is one of/ is not one of those stock status value. In our case, i would need to change it to target our custom status.

thank you very much.

regards,

Ron

Hi Ron Lesh

There is no way to achieve that through filter metadata.

Instead you have to extends the class FilterApi (clients/base/api/FilterApi.php). Inside that class take a look at the method "addFavoriteFilter" (it refers to $favorite defined at custom/modules/<ModuleName>/clients/base/filters/default/default.php).

In the inherited class you have to override the method "addFilters" the way you can inject some joins/raw sql into SugarQuery $q object according to a new filter definition you are going to create.

At last you can modify your filter definition in order to specify the new filter definition.

Kind regards
