One more addition to this.

I have noticed that Multiselect type does not ensure the labels will be rendered correctly.

The first field in my example has the following options:

30 lbs - 30lbs

60 lbs - 60lbs

...... you get the ideea. These options are always rendered as values (without spaces).

On the other hand, the multiselect field has these options:

POS Integrated - POSIntegrated

Stand Alone - StandAlone

......

These are alway rendered with the correct label, with spaces.

I was just wondering if maybe it has something to do with labels beginning with numbers?

Hi Adrian

We will just check it out and see if there is something odd in there... Will get back

Thank you Nicolai.

If it helps, here is an example: http://mnmel.dw-demo.com/products/peripherals/scales

Integration is the MultiSelect one, the first one is RadioButton and the last one checkbox.

The first facet is excluded form Analysis. I have also tried changing the Field type from Radiobutton list to Multiselect but I got the same result.

Hi Adrian

Thanks - I think we have it reproduced. It is a tricky one because of the way we name and index these types of fields. So it is a little nasty to fix (if not impossible without a index rebuild). Anyways, we are on it and will get back.

Thank you Nicolai.

Any solution for getting the labels from the API instead of Index?

Something like GetFacetLabel(string FacetSystemName, string FacetValue) ?

It's probably not efficient on large solutions but for small sets of facets and values, probably it can work without a major overhead.

Thanks,

Hi Adrian

If you avoid having [space] in System name for product category fields and groups, it will work... Problem is that those spaces are replaced with _ when indexed and  because of a some weird other handling of the values and label, this becomes an issue.

Hi Nicolai,

That's a very good insight.

I will make sure they won't define the system names with spaces.

I know I have warned them about this, and that's why I have not checked this first.

I will see if I can make the changes directly in the database.

Thanks,

Hi Nicolai,

I have checked in my example and it looks like we don't have any spaces in system names:

ProductCategory SystemName: Scales

Field 1 SystemName: Weight_Capacity

Field 2 SystemName: Integration

Field 3 SystemName: Label_Printing

It looks like "_" is also not recommended in SystemNames

Thanks,
Adrian

Yes, spaces in systemnames are replaced with _ and that _ is the problem. So you cannot use _ as well of course...
