Search functionality for individual columns in list filter query disappears if Task Type is used in AND or OR

KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

If a filter condition builder on a Task table includes the field Task Type <task>.<sys_class_name> in an AND or OR condition, the search functionality for individual columns becomes inactive, and the Task Type field becomes read-only.

The field in question is of composite system class name type:
<task>.<sys_class_name>
/sys_dictionary.do?sys_id=4a5712530f003100836f7f5ce1050e2b

Steps to Reproduce

 

  1. Log in to a demo OOB instance.

  2. Open a list filtered as follows:

    /task_list.do?sysparm_query=active%3Dtrue%5Estate!%3D6%5EORsys_class_name%3Dvtb_task

    Note that the magnifying glass icon next to the personalize list (gear) icon is disabled and the Task Type column is read-only.

     

    Search icon not visible

  3. Modify the filter as follows

    /task_list.do?sysparm_query=active%3Dtrue%5Esys_class_name%3Dgrc_audit_requirement

    Note that the search icon is now enabled and Task Type can be edited.

     

    Search icon visible

 

Workaround

Remove the combined condition OR/AND involving Task Type.
