Show Asset Object Type in an Asset Custom Field

[Jesse Ortega Jr]

I am trying to show the Object Type rather than the object in an asset custom field.

When I use the AQL objectTypeID IN (15,14), I get back all the objects within the Object Type rather than the object.

What am I missing in my asset custom field configuration?

Hello @Jesse Ortega Jr ,

If you need an asset field containing different types of objects, here is an example with two types of objects: Certificates and Volumes.

Configuration field is here:

I am trying to filter all of the object types. Or at least what I put into the AQL.

What you are trying to do cannot be done, the Asset object field can only show objects, not object types. What is the reason behind needing to show the object type?

Hello Mikael.

When creating a ticket in the portal, the team would like to first select the object type then in the second field select the object with in the object type selected. 

Is this possible?

[Mikael Sandberg]

The only way would be if you had a custom fields (not asset object field) that contained the object type name. The only drawback would be that you would have to manually maintain that value list if you add new object types.

So what I understand is that I need to create a custom select list field and list the object types there. And then the custom asset field will need to refer to the new custom field to pull the objects in the object type, correct?  

If so, would the AQL to bus used be the one below?

object = ${customfield_xxxxx.label}

[Mikael Sandberg]

Yes, that looks correct!

I tried that and it didn't work. I seems that an asset custom field is needed and that is what cannot be created.
