Hi,
instead of classification field in the PART item type, if we want to define subtypes in a separate field in the PART form how can we configure the filter list?
For example, we have component types as Capacitors, Resistors, etc. For Capacitors, we have a detailed subtype list and we want to define them as filter list.
thank you

Hi Duygu,
I believe you're seeing is that you're using only the name of the child sub-class as your Filter value in the list. The actual value of the classification of an item is a fully-qualified path down the classification structure.
For example, if we look at the CAD ItemType, it has a default classification structure of:
I was able to reproduce the behavior you're seeing by creating a filter list against the classification property with filtered values like the image below.
With these filters, my filtered list was not being populated with any values even when I was viewing a CAD with a classification of Part or Drawing. The issue here is the value of the classification field in the database for these CAD items is actually Mechanical/Part, Mechanical/Drawing, or Mechanical/Assembly.
If you update our filter list to include this fully-qualified classification like the updated image below, you should notice that your list is populated with the values you expect.
