P10 introduced new operations over lists: ListAll, ListAny, ListFilter, ListIndexOf and ListSort.
But, it's still missing a very usefull operation: ListDistinct
We are still using SortRecordList extension just because of this functionality. It would be nice if it could be added to the system module.
My thoughts exactly, I was surprised it wasn't included in P10!
Most of the times Distinct could be prevented by another query, but sometime (by the nature of queries within OutSystems) it could be a usefull addition to prevent a requery to the database to populate lists.
Not a huge fan, but I see its potential on some occassions
Hi guys,
Just to let you know that we'll be working on these soon!
Stay tuned :)
Hey guys,
I'm glad to announce that, with the release of OutSystems 11, there is a new List Distinct action. As usual, a special thank you to the idea creator, Carlos, in our release notes.
Hope you enjoy it!
