Hello,

like the title says, I'm unable to filter an adhoc automatic placements report by either of these two fields. If I try "Domain", I receive an INVALID_PREDICATE_FIELD_NAME error, while "DisplayName" returns an INVALID_FIELD_NAME_FOR_REPORT exception. Both of these fields should be legal field names for the AUTOMATIC_PLACEMENTS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT the way I see it.

There's little effort required to do the filtering on my side, so it's not a big issue—I just wanted to inquire whether that's expected behavior.

Thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Update: a colleague just enlightened me (by using ReportDefinitionService.getReportFields) about the fact that "DisplayName" is not a filterable field, so that explains half of the issue. But "Domain" should still be usable in a filter.

Hi Dorian,

I confirmed that I'm getting the SelectorError.INVALID_PREDICATE_FIELD_NAME error as well when I try to filter by Domain. I'm following up with the reporting team and will post here when I have an update. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Cheers,

Hi Dorian,

It turns out that Domain should not have been marked as filterable. We fixed ReportDefinitionService.getReportFields and updated our reporting documentation accordingly.

Thanks,
