hello, we have a custom list type field on a custom record i'm searching the custom record via ss1.0 search how can I check if a string matches the name of the selected option in a list type field? i tried doing ['custrecord_list_field_id.name', 'contains', searchString] but it does not work.

You probably need to post your code to get a better feel of what you'[re talking about. However, if you want the text value of a search result column that is a list type field you'll need result.getText('column_name') instead of result.getValue('column_name')

I would suggest you tried doing in UI search
