How do I filter a model list results based on string of IDs?

I have a text field that I use to store a list of User ID values that are delimited by commas.

I want my User Model to use the comma delimited values as a condition for the rows that show up. (i.e. If the User ID is present in the comma delimited text field value then the row will show up).

How do I build a condition to do this? How should my text string be formatted (i.e. Should I add single quotes around each ID value, should I be adding the single quote in a special way to avoid it being escaped)

Maybe try using "contains"on the condition rather than = ? I think this might work for you.

I used contains and the SOQL produced is not valid. It produces something like IN (‘ID1,ID2,ID3,ID4’) when it needs to produce (‘ID1’,‘ID2’,‘ID3’,‘ID4’) to be valid. I tried to kind of force in the extra single quotes but to avoid SQL injections they escape the quotes I introduce which then produces something like IN (‘ID1’,‘ID2’,‘ID3’,‘ID4’) which is also invalid SOQL.

Ultimately I think it would be a useful feature to be able to filter based on a delimited string value in field but its definitely an edge case so I can understand why it probably wasn’t a consideration.

I’m not clear on what exactly you mean by “a text field…of values” in a skuid context. But I’m thinking you can do something with pageload javascript. I worked up a simple page to populate a model from the User object based on a comma-delimited list in a UI-Only model. You’ll see the list as your and my last names on line 5. The javascript would be a tad simpler if you ran it from a button rather than pageload, but I wasn’t sure of your use case.
