+11Looking at the documentation for LOV Searching is shows that the functionality should use contains, however when creating a customer order as example. When I try entering a customer the logic used is startswith. Am I misunderstanding the logic here?
Has anyone been able to change this logic?
Thanks,
Jamie

hi
yes we execute a starts with search in the LOV .
As you mentioned if you do a % then you can find the entries similer to a contains search. (still the search is starts with)
You can do a equal search by typing a = infront of the serch condition.
But you can not do a contains search directly.
we will correct the documentation

+16contains and startswith so you can use whichever makes your filtering easier. Is that what you meant?
See https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r1/040_tailoring/225_configuration/200_client_configurations/310_conditional_fields/100_conditional_lov/#filter_lovs_conditionally for more about this.

+11Hi
The example I gave was the entry of a customer when creating a customer order. The field allows you to start typing a value, however it looks to only find the values that startswith the value I am entering. To execute a wildcard search the user needs to first enter the %.
I am looking for an option to change the functionality of this field so it executes contains.
I did look at the documentation relating to LOV’s and it says the default is contain?
