Description

Business metadata attributes can be defined to be of the following types. 

• string
• boolean
• byte
• short
• int
• float
• double
• long
• date
• enum

Quick search and suggestions works fine only if the business metadata attribute is defined to be of string type. It is not working for any of the other (listed above) BM attribute types we support.

Attached screenshots.

Also, we support quick search/suggestions on BM Attributes values. So in case of data types like enum, byte, boolean, date etc. how would the user search? For instance, how would the user enter a valid date? what is the valid date format? And for cases like boolean, entering a search text like "true" returns me 100s of returns which are of not much use. Should we support quick search and suggestions on BM attribute names instead of values?
