List Pre-filter Eval Ajax Value not stored in DB

[nbradshaw]

Hi -

I have an calc element that I want to use as a pre-filter. However, I want to have the list pre-filter based on the Ajax value that shows in the list (as the value has not yet been stored in the db).

The pre-filter works fine if the value 'Submitted' is stored in the DB - however, if it's not - the pre-filter does not filter out 'Submitted'.

Any ideas how to do this?

Hi,

Makes sense, as the list pre-filter can only work on values existing in the database. If an entire DB column is empty, then there's nothing to pre-filter on.
