Search Component - lookup field

The relationship field I think is a reference to the record Id, not the name, so you would have to use the account name field instead of the reference field.

Hi Raymond,

I am using Account__r.Name and the name shows in the template. If I just search by the Account name it doesn’t yield any results.

I can’t explain why it is happening but a quick work around would be to add a salesforce formula file on the contacts object that returns the account name, the add that field to your search

Hey Raymond,

I thought that would work also but it doesn’t. If I search for the Account name through the Contact object it returns no results.

Hi Tami, the search component would need to have a return object set up for each of the objects that you’d like to search through. Is there something specific to your use case that prevents you from adding Account as a return object?

Depending on use case, you may only need one return object. For example, if yo wanted all the records from all the objects related to contacts to filter by a specific contact, then you could have contacts be the return object and the set the conditions on each model equal to the contact Id. Then you could filter multiple models/objects by the record Id from a single return object…
