Creating Typeahead filters using custom fields

[OmahaOmaha]

Is it possible to create a typeahead filter using a custom field?  the custom field is a dropdown field.

You could use external lookup but it will only have a string value, not an ID + name like a TYAH field.

what about 'OR' logic in a typeahead field filter?

Yeah should work just like it does in text mode

What about if you want the right side of the compare to be a value in a custom field?  All of the examples at the link above show comparing the content of a field to an actual value.  I would really like to be able to filter based on the value that is stored in another custom form field. For instance, if I have a dropdown field that sets the value of SupplierType, using that value to filter a typeahead contents so that I only get suppliers of a certain type.

Sadly not with TYAH fields - the filter is passed verbatim and not evaluated (ie, when passing something like DE:otherField=FIELD:DE:someFieldValue the "DE:someFieldValue" is not evaluated)

You can do that with the external lookup (although you then just get a string value, not an object)

Might be worth posting that under ideas though - should be possible to pass a dependent field similar to external lookups
