Simple Part Filtering

You can filter selection fields based on values stored in the underlying datastore. Any field in the datastore can be used for filtering.

For example, imagine a datastore called Filtering Examples, containing the following fields:

Field name

Description

Value

The actual selectable value (e.g. the name of a city).

Filter

A secondary field used for filtering (e.g. the country of the city).

Below is an example dataset in this datastore:

Value (City)

Filter (Country)

Bruges

Belgium

Brussels

Belgium

Ghent

Belgium

Putte

Belgium

Amsterdam

The Netherlands

Putte

The Netherlands

Rotterdam

The Netherlands

Frankfurt

Germany

Dresden

Germany

When entering a filter, set the Filter type to Plain text.
