Is there a workaround to be able to have a multiselect entity field display in available filters? (currently under Enhancement 164787)

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that there is currently a system limitation in NetSuite that does not allow the use of custom fields of type Multiple Select as an available filter by marking the checkbox Show in Filter Region for saved search results. This is referenced in SuiteAnswers answer id 70845. However, there are a couple of workarounds suggested: 1. Use a criteria with the custom multi-select field. This requires a bit of work and may not be ideal if you want users to be able to select via filter. 2. Use a formula text field in the criteria with the custom field selected and the criteria set to % (wildcard). Then put the formula text on the available filters. Users will have to type in the value they want to filter on. This method will give partial matches, so it's important to be careful with how many formulas you are using as criteria. 3. Another workaround suggested is to use a report instead of a saved search. This might be more user-friendly, especially for users who are not as sophisticated in using the system. Please note that these are workarounds and may not fully meet your requirements. The ideal solution would be for NetSuite to enhance the system to allow multi-select fields as an available filter, but as of now, this is under enhancement (Enhancement 164787). ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
