Here’s a potential solution expanding on Pat’s response:
- Parse that text field and populate a ui-only model with the list of ids from that field
- Point your “Field from another model” model condition to that ui-only model to get the child records. Don’t forget to use “in”, not “equals to”, since you want to return the match for all records in the ui-model
Here’s XML showing how to use a snippet to convert a text field to records in an ui-only model:
