Cross-table/Remote field filtering, indexing a non-tablelookup base NW field on an extension table

Does NW support “Remote Filter” or “Cross-table filter”

  1. I’ve added an index on WriteCheckTo in ns<env>DirectoryExt hoping it would make that field filterable in apps that link to a directory record (e.g., Supplier Credit Memo).
  2. The field displays correctly in those apps because of the TL (table link), but filtering only works in apps built directly on the directory table.
  3. I tried adding an index on the Supplier field in ns<env>PayablesHeaderExt with text pattern indexing, but that didn’t enable filtering either.
    1. I also experimented with Sub Field (Supplier + WriteCheckTo) but realized that’s not the intended function.

As far as I know applying indexes to base fields via extension tables isn’t supported. Such however may be possible via customization of the base table.

Can you book a time on my calendar to look at this to make sure I understand exactly what you’re asking for? I think I get it but I’m having trouble conceptualizing the issue and possible solutions.

Base NW fields can be indexed on extension tables, and related lookup fields can be added to applications for filtering.
