Hi Team ,

The requirement is to add dropdown filters to all fields between the header label and the first row in Readonly grid . Is this possible in Appian?

Thank you, [mention:3510a5189ce1477eaf2e09f5858c87e9:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] , for your reply. The client is specifically asking for this requirement. While this is possible in an editable grid, I want search functionality just like in a read-only grid. Can we have a custom search bar?

"I’ve used an example where all department names are displayed in an editable grid. When I search for 'dep', the grid filters the data based solely on the department name field, as the filtering is specifically applied to that column."

NOTE: Limit what’s searchable: Avoid searching across all 50 fields unless absolutely needed — it can degrade performance.
