GI Dropdown/Checkbox Filters - Why Only Some Fields?

​@jon12 It’s how the field is coded, one is a selector type field and one is a dropdown type field. Would need to review the code for how each is used to see if it could be applicable, but I think it that isn’t up your alley you could make a User Defined Field which had all the Order Types and make it a combo box which you could then display instead of the order type on the GI and it should be able to function similarly to the Status filter.

I believe it’s because of how the field is defined in the DAC.

Fields like ‘Status’ are set up as fixed lists (PXStringList), so the system already knows all the possible values and can show the checkbox-style filter in the GI. Whereas fields like ‘Order Type’ are more of a selector/reference to another table, not a hardcoded list, so the GI just treats them like a normal string field and gives you the standard operators instead.

As far as I know, that behaviour isn’t something you can change in the GI itself so it would likely take a customisation to redefine how the field is exposed.

Thank you for your super-fast replies, I really appreciate it. I am interested to see if I can create a user-defined combo-box field to mirror the Order Type field and have it auto-populate with the equivalent Order Type value (so it’s not something that would require maintenance unless we added a new order type). 

Thanks!
