New subject: [xwiki-users] [XE 2.0] Live Table : not filtering multiple-valued fields

9 Oct 2009

Hello,

I'm using the (fantastic) new live tables to display components of a certain
class.
Everything works well, except for one thing - but functionality may be
discutable...

One of the fields of my class is of type Static List, is displayed as
checkboxes and has multi-select activated.
This field is correctly displayed in live table, with "type" : "list",
and
all checked values are displayed separated by a space character (not that
good though, if some of the values contain spaces...).
Problem is for sorting and filtering :
- filtering on a value just leaves the table as it is (displays all entries)
[Note : it seems in 2.0-RC2, filtering this kind of field removes all
entries]
- sorting table on this field just changes order, but with no link to values
(no link I could infer).

I believe sorting a multi-valued field is not really a good idea, and I
wonder what to expect. As order of values is kept, it might have a sense
maybe. But filtering would be helpful though. I think a line should be
retained if one of the values matches the filter.

Except for this case, the live table works perfectly well.

WDYT ? (did not find any jira about that, maybe missed it).

Regards,
Jeremie
