Views - Is Grouping by Data Type - Text Properties Possible?

I am trying to create a view by and one of the groupings is by a property I created that has a data type text. When I click on the drop down when selecting the classes or properties I want to group by that data type property doesn't populate. Was wondering if anyone has experienced this. I was thinking maybe it's because a text field can vary and maybe that's why.

  • Yes, I have it selected as can be used in groupings. In M-Files explorer when creating views, when I click on properties and select the grouping levels I do not see the text properties in the dropdown under the folder structure. 

  • Have you logged out of the client completely and gone back in since you enabled grouping?

    To answer your question: yes, it is absolutely possible to group by a text field provided it's configured to allow it.

  • I did and the reason I found this strange because one of the properties that I created was a choose from list type and I can see that one DO Event Type but the other DO properties you can see in the Admin tool. I posted the pictures below. 

  • Not sure what's going on but thank you for helping. 

  • For text properties, you need to select "Text" in the Group by selection. After that you should be able to select your text property in the Property list.
