I have found some good examples of creating a Custom Picklist from a Model:
A drop down list from a custom setting
Custom picklist renderer when option source is a model
But my wanton appetite is on the lookout for a version for Lookups. Taking the same idea, a Model for the source data, instead of a Picklist, I want to render a Lookup.
I don’t know what your intended result is, but it sounds like you can use the lookup filters that exist on reference fields.
I didn’t know they existed for 6 months but now I use them like crazy.
Thanks Moshe, but I am looking for how to do this for non-reference fields. The two examples above show how to create picklists from ‘normal’ fields, I want to do similar, but as a lookup.
Ross - to be clear, you would like to have a picklist field rendered so that it looks like a reference field lookup? (Essentially presenting a type ahead field?). Is that what you are after ?
Close, but I want to use a ‘normal’ text field, like in the two examples I gave. They both give a picklist that the selected item used to populate the text field. I wish to do something very similar, but with a lookup or type ahead.
