Special cases to consider
Query split across multiple columns
A
person
table has the following dataThe user has configured
first_name
andlast_name
as the preview columns for all records selectors which reference theperson
table.Within a
person
record selector, the user enters the text "Emma Stone" and expects to see record 102 in the results.Records that contain a lot of data
Solution
/api/v0/tables/<id>/record_previews/
. The fields returned by this endpoint would be determined by table preferences set in API support for storing "record preview" and "record selector" settings #944.Additional context
