Hi,

I have a text field that is autogenerated. It works and is showing the autogenerated value. However, it's not searchable. I have the text field set to searchable too!

Please see the 4 screenshots uploaded.

Hello

here is an explanation
- Only the part that is saved into the Database is searchable
- The appending of item ID is done inside the viewing layout , thus it is not related to the search index

If you would want to make it searchable,
you will need to store the full value into the DB by creating via custom PHP code
(Parameter Automatic value creation that uses the Pro plugin)

Is there no other way apart from using paid version for now? even if it means fiddling with the core files?

I notice that there's a "placeholder" but it doesn't accept
Code:
{{item->id}}
sadly.

Hello

yes, you can do it with most powerful way which is to create a new field type

1. Duplicate the text field plugin
2. Rename 'text' to 'myfieldtype' in appropriate places (filenames and inside code) to create your own custom field type
3. Modify the PHP code of the field (In your case you will only need to modify method onDisplayFieldValue)

Of course you will have to use your own PHP code knowledge for examining existing field code and modifying it.

Guidance articles for developers to do the above are bellow:
