Exclude some Container Sub-elements from Advanced Search Forms
Hello,
When a container is added to a search form, all sub-elements are included on the form.
I am wanting to exclude/hide some container sub-elements from search forms.
For example, in the demo site: I would like to be able to see and search on the "Condition" sub-elements:
Condition Status
Evaluation Date
But, I dont want the following sub-element appearing on the search form:
Condition Description (condition_remarks)
This is what I have tried.
In the metadata elements, I have set the following.
condition (condition_description)
"Can be used in search form" is ticked.
And the same is done for the sub-elements that I want to be visible in the search form:
condition_description > condition_line1 > Condition Status (condition_value) [List]
condition_description > condition_line1 > Evaluation Date (condition_date) [DateRange]
"Can be used in search form" is ticked.
On the other hand, for both:
condition_description > condition_line2
condition_description > condition_line2 > Condition Description (condition_remarks) [Text]
"Can be used in search form" is unticked.
And, in a new search form ("advanced search TEST"), "condition" is added to "Items to search".
I hoped that after doing this - with "Can be used in search form" unticked - the Condition Description (condition_remarks) sub-element would not appear on the search form.
But, all elements still appear on the form. (See attached image.)
Am I misunderstanding how "Can be used in search form" is meant to work?
If so, how can I exclude specific sub-elements from a search form?
With thanks for any suggestions,
Clifford.
