FlowFilters added to Card Pages don't works and don't update FlowFields

[JavierFuentes]

Describe the bug
Actually seems we can't manage Filters and FlowFilters in Card Pages as we can do in List Pages...

So, we have tried to add FlowFilters and FlowFields directly into a Card Page Extension, but it doesn't works.

To Reproduce
Add a FlowFilter and a FlowField to a Card Page or a Card Page Extension.

When you validate a new value into a FlowFilter, it doesn't remains in the field and seems it lost its value... as a consequence, the FlowField don't update its value neither.

pageextension 50100 prefix_GLAccountCardExt extends "G/L Account Card"
...
field("prefix_Date Filter"; "Date Filter")
{
   ApplicationArea = All;

   trigger OnValidate()
   begin
       CalcFields("Balance at Date"); // Forze code calcfield don't works neither
       Message('The new Date Filter is: %1', GetFilter("Date Filter"));
   end;
}

field("prefix_Balance at Date"; "Balance at Date")
{
   ApplicationArea = All;
}

Example:

Expected behavior
Ideally we need to interact with Filters and FlowFilters in Cards nativelly...

Regardless of whether this works at any time, we need to be able to add fields of type flowfilter and flowfield to the Page Card and that they work as expected.

We have noticed that if you validate the "Date Filter" value in "G/L Account List" this value is copied to "G/L Account Card" and used to calculate the "Balance at Date" FlowField, but the FlowFilter added to Page don't show this value

Hi @JavierFuentes, thanks for filing this issue, we'll treat this as a bug and will try to fix it.

Hi,

Many thanks for raising this issue. Unfortunately we have not been able to get to this issue as soon as we'd have liked. Since it has been a long time since this issue was last updated, it is possible that this has been fixed by a newer release of Business Central and the AL extension for Visual Studio Code. We have thus decided to close it.

If the issue still affects you on the latest insider build of Business Central, please help us and open a new issue for us with the latest steps to reproduce the issue, and link back to this closed issue to track any comments or discussions.

Thanks,
Thaddeus

Hello,
the error reported in this issue is still not fixed in the latest version of BC available as of this date (v19.3)

Please reopen this same ticket to try to fix it... i spent too much effort documenting the problem to open a new one 25 months later...

Thanks in advance.

Nowadays it is not possible to use a flowfilter in a card page, for me at least. (v21.5)

For example: In Fixed Asset table, there is a field called FA Posting Date Filter. When you fill this flowfilter field with value "..31/12/2023" in the Fixed Asset list page, no error thrown, but, if you make this field visible in FA Posting Types Overview page and fill it with value "..31/12/2023", boom, error. Why? No idea...

The error says date format is not valid, when that is false, date format is correct. Even OnValidate trigger is not reached, I mean, it is something inside the platform that breaks before reaching AL code.

Hey everyone, you should set the flow filter with SetRange or SetFilter and not assign it with := or validate. Then, if necessary, a Calcfields() with the FlowField.
