Dynamic View Attachment Filter

Hello!

I've been using Smartsheet + Dynamic View actively for the last few months, and I can honestly say it's been a great tool that's helped our workflows a lot. However, I was wondering if there was a way to filter rows on the Dynamic View side that have/dont have attachments? I can create filters that check for the content in cells specifically, but could not find a way to filter rows based on whether they had any attachments linked to them.

Similar to how another user asked for the same thing, but on the smartsheet side:https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/66445/filter-rows-based-on-attachment


Thanks,

Anurag

Hi @Emmy Anderson<\/a> <\/p>

You are not missing anything. This is how DV works with dropdowns unfortunately. My work around in the past is to create an other option in the drop down, user chooses save. Then have logic built for a text field that appears so the user can input the values not present in dropdown. <\/p>

Hope this helps<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":343,"name":"Add Ons and Integrations","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/apps-and-integrations","allowedDiscussionTypes":["discussion","question"]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":319,"urlcode":"functionality","name":"functionality"}]},{"discussionID":66594,"type":"question","name":"Is there a way to use OR in a Dynamic View filter condition?","excerpt":"In a View, I can create a custom filter that selects where the Project Lead is \"Mike\" but I want to also say \"OR Debbie.\" Is that possible?
