AppGini Community Forums

Hi. I have a table "budget" with a lookup field named "project".
I am trying to customize the query in the advanced functions of the appgini lookup field so that in the "project" field of the "budget" table appear two concatenated fields of the "projects" table, ie the "project" and "start_conclusion" fields, limited to records of the "projects" table in which the "active" field has the value "YES".

I tried with this custom query but it doesn't work:

SELECT `projects`.`pkey`, `projects`.`project`, `projects`.`start_conclusion` CONCAT_WS('', `projects`.`project`, `projects`.`start_conclusion`) FROM `projects` WHERE `projects`.`active` = 'YES' ORDER BY `project`

SELECT `projects`.`pkey`, `projects`.`project`, `projects`.`start_conclusion` CONCAT_WS('', `projects`.`project`, `projects`.`start_conclusion`) FROM `projects` WHERE `projects`.`active` = 'YES' ORDER BY `project`

• As far as I know the advanced query should return two values: the primary key and the display text.
• Your query retrns more than two fields and
• I think there is a comma "," missing before concat_ws()
• Additionally I think there is a mistake with quotation in first parameter of concat_ws. It should be ',' but it looks like '',

Maybe this is what you want (not tested):

thank you so much Jan!
Finally I solved it restoring the default query and simpy adding the WHERE condition.

My query now work and it's:
Of course your code seems to be more simple than my so i will try it... really i don't understand the "IF(CHAR_LENGTH" and "|| CHAR_LENGTH" code in the default appgini query.

Thank you so much!
