I am trying to develop a component that searches on multiple records from the same box, I am analyzing the "Record Picker Component" from the documentation it does not allow you to manage multiple records at the same time, has anyone been able to work around the limit?

I'm not sure I understand your question - do you mean that it doesn't let you search from multiple Record Types (i.e. Order and Customer) at the same time? Because you should be able to search for all records within a Record Type at once and select multiple records.

    Hi Peter, thanks for your answer, I mean that it doesn't let me search from multiple Record Types at the same time. At the moment I was able to realize a search (a!pickerFieldRecords) which can search in any fields of a given single Record type, I would know if it is possible extend this search to an array of Record types. Thanks.

    Hi Lucianoz0003,

    What is your use case here? 

    Displays an autocompleting input for the selection of one or more records, filtered by a single record type.
    Record Picker Component - Appian 21.3 -> it is not possible by definition to use is for multiple records as it is.

    You can try to use a custom picker component as you can search "List of variants" (type of an array with values of different CDT types)
