initial_filter for relate.js

Hi Sonasay,

I hope that below article will help you.

Apply initial filter in relate fields and relationship fields with quick(popup) search sugarcrm 7.x 

Hi, Thank you for the link. I'm still having trouble after following the steps. I cannot see my filter take effect. 

Am I suppose to see my newly created filter in the Dropdown list from the GUI as well or is this filter just working only in the background?

I can see my javascript code load when I put console.log messages throughout the code but its simply not filtering.

Instead of the name field I am trying to filter by account type

// JS CODE

var custom_FilterOptions = new app.utils.FilterOptions().config({
    'initial_filter': 'FilterDealersTemplate',
    'initial_filter_label': 'LBL_FILTER_DEALERS_TEMPLATE',
    'filter_populate': {
        'account_type': [this.model.get('account_type')],
    }
}).populateRelate(this.model).format();


// My PHP filter definiation

$viewdefs['AVA_Account_Vehicle_Activity']['base']['filter']['basic']['filters'][] = array(
    'id' => 'FilterDealersTemplate',
    'name' => 'LBL_FILTER_DEALERS_TEMPLATE',
    'filter_definition' => array(
        array(
            'account_type' => array(
                '$in' => 'Dealer',
            ),
        ),
    ),
    'editable' => true,
    'is_template' => true,
);

HI Ajay

I finally got it working. My problem was I was referring to the wrong module in the definitions. I have changed it to Accounts and its showing up as expected.

Thank you
