This would be in my opinion a great facility to have, it seems the hardwork is already done as this filtering is available for the other formula functions in App variables. The use-case scenarios are endless but can be seen how much easier it would have been in a recent post ( Code for Notification Badge on new Layout Menu ).
I look forward to seeing if this is something that can be added quickly to complement the amazing new layouts.
@Ashley is correct. ‘Formula’ type app variable for ‘Count’ function doesnt currently allow the ability to add conditions. For example I am trying to count number of ‘open’ status actions for ‘logged in user’ and the only way I can achieve this is by adding calculation fields into table and then referencing those fields into a static app variable, this makes things more complicated then they need to be, hence why request from @Ashley is valid.
Please also include the ability to filter results for logged in user. Would be a bonus if we could also reference one app variable output result as input parameter for another app variable.
This opens up the possibility that this functionality left out by mistake during the transition from an older version of tadabase to a newer version. Maybe @moe could look into this? Well spotted @Shumon !
