Search on Heading Field not working after upgrade to 2.4.1

Search on Heading Field in some Entities not working after upgrade to 2.4.1

[support]

Any other details?

[thaymaker]

I have multiple entities. I have always been able to search the data field marked "Is heading". Since the upgrade, sub entities don't allow this anymore.

[support]

Make sure field is checked.

The field does not appear in the list. I am unable to set it to be searchable. Here is the field definition. Before the update it was automatically searchable.

[support]

This field type is not available for search because value generated dynamically.
You can use Static Text pattern where values is saved in database and then you can do search.

I have the same issue with drop-down list fields. What can I do about that?

[support]

Nothing. Some fields just not supported for search and you can use filters to filter values by choices from dropdown.

Why was it changed so that these fields are not searchable? I went back to my previous version 2.2, and they ARE searchable in that version.

This is causing me huge problems. I need to be able to search on fields that are populated by global lists and this no longer works for me.

I can't change the way my system is set up to accommodate these searches that no longer work. I am certain they worked in 2.2, because I used them every day. They are heading fields in most of my displays.

Can you check into this further to see what changed to cause this?
