No results for custom data Search Builder search
June 16, 2011, 02:33:25 pm
I'm searching on a custom data option in Search Builder.

Individuals where Set: Alphanumeric CheckBox = 1

eg.
Code: [Select]
Individuals where Volunteers: Deliver leaflets = 1
The Search Builder advice says to use 1 for a yes. I've also used 'Yes' but this returns nothing as well.

Is this a 3.3.6 bug?

Search builder works for most of the cases but it has few limitations/bugs. It would be great if you can investigate and come up with potential patch.

Thanks

I'm not a developer and having updated to 3.3.6, I would expect a core function like this to work.

Any help appreciated.

Apparently putting in the Value of the custom data in the search builder works too.

Would be worth you guys fixing for the future releases, or updating all documentation to reflect the change.

The wiki is community editable. Can you please go in and improve the docs / update the docs to what it currently does based on your experience

thanx

No, I'm not going to do that. It's ridiculous to lose a feature like that and the only plan is to edit the wiki.

Now I and everyone else will not only go to use something that has used a '1' in the field before, but we will need to use the Value for that the custom data, which non-adminstrators aren't going to have access to.

This needs a fix, not a band-aid.

If you think this is very critical to your needs I would suggest hiring someone from http://civicrm.org/professional list to fix it. Then you can submit it as a patch so that entire community benefits. Looking forward for your contribution.

Thanks

Once patch is submitted, depending on the quality of patch we can get it into next stable release ( 3.4.x )
