var yearFilter = search.createFilter({name: 'postingperiod', operator: search.Operator.CONTAINS, values: [YTDRange.year]});

I'm trying to use this filter for a search on Transactions. The year is "2020". Is there a better way to do this? I also tried

name: 'periodname', join: search.Type.ACCCOUNTING_PERIOD

. Neither is working.

posting period is a little weird, but its certainly not a string type operator. contains is only for strings.

["postingperiod","rel","TFYTP"]

Are there enums for the operator/value?

its why its weird

gotcha

you can use a text formula to make it behave like a string
