Issue
- The Asset Publisher loses sorting by custom fields when more than one type of structure is selected. This happens even if the structure fields of selected structure/templates are identical.
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.0
- Liferay DXP 7.1
- Liferay DXP 7.2
- Liferay DXP 7.3
- Liferay DXP 7.4
Resolution
-
This is the intended behavior. The ordering options are hidden purposefully as the options, even if they are of the same type, have different IDs which are stored in the portlet's preferences.
For instance, in the PortletPreferencesValue table, the value for name orderByColumn1 (in our test case) is "ddm_keyword42958_Text86277641". This corresponds to the ID of the specific text field for the specific structure chosen. If Liferay were to allow any fields from any structures, then we wouldn't be able to compare them since some will contain values while others will not.
