Filter cascade by formula field workaround

[ta33ik]

Hi there,

I need my users to autocomplete a place through its "Company+Address+Postcode+Country" formula field. OK for now, but when I try to stamp the place selection as place ID, I stumble into not being able to filter cascade by this formula field. Anything I'm missing or a workaround ? Thanks !

Hello! Please note that the formula field in Caspio is being rendered as Text(64000) which is why you can use it in Virtual1 because it can accomodate 64,000 characters at maximum while the field you are using as cascading text field has only maximum length of 255 characters. What you can do is to modify and convert your formula to VARCHAR(255) to render it as Text(255) and it will now show in the options for 'Filter cascade by'.  

CONVERT(VARCHAR,YourCurrentFormula)
