Trying to add a custom field to a saved search in the results tab, but the field doesnt show up as on option. Any ideas on how to fix this or are some fields not able to be added?
k
On the custom field definition there is a field called "Search permission" or something to that effect
if it is set to none, it can't be part of a search
There's a couple additional flavors in the middle, but most of the time you want full
a
It is currently set to edit but still not showing :/
k
Unless it's some kind of secure field or a duplicate of another one
How long has the field existed?
does the search pre-date the field?
a
Yes it does
k
You might try clearing your cache and starting a new search from scratch to see if it shows up as an option
a
Just tried that, the field still doesnt show as an option. Not sure why some fields would be excluded from a search.
k
How old is the field?
a
Just created today

I've had in some cases where I had to recreate a field in order to propogate it
a
I've had new additions like custom fields and records take quite some time to “show up” recently Try logging out and back in and check back in an hour or so Then if that doesn't work try recreating like Kevin mentioned

Thanks @AI1 @KevinJ of Kansas I was able to get the field to show up!
