TIBCO MDM 9.1.0

Description

While creating a new record in MDM we may observe that,Search is not yielding to get right one from the dropdown list as per the input.it shows any record that contains the letter/number instead of start with that string.

Example : If we have 2 records with an attribute drop down values as Paris,Japan and we type Pa in the dropdown list box, it will show Japan first instead of Paris.

Issue/Introduction

MDM UI dropdown list is searching by "contains" instead of "start with" when typing a text from Record add screen

Environment

ALL

Resolution

 For exact search(from start of the entry) we need to set config property 'com.tibco.mdm.ui.validValueSearchType' to exact. By default it is 'like' as below.

<ConfValue description="The match type of validvalues dropdown search as like or exact" isHotDeployable="true" name="Validvalues dropdown search type" propname="com.tibco.mdm.ui.validValueSearchType" readonly="false" sinceVersion="9.0" visibility="Basic">
<ConfString default="like" value="exact"/>
</ConfValue>
