Yes if rich text component(inside details screen) pointing(without any formating) to basic column which contain list of titles so it searchable aslo if hiden by options.
We just need to write this list after user added new image.
Thanks Jeff!

Ok ya i just tested with a column that said “copper” and it worked with both regular text and rich text, so it’s searchable!
ok but why is that searchable but not the titles if the titles have columns too??
So my images are on one table and my profiles (details page) are either on the salons table or professionals table. I have relations back to each table from the image entries:
So if I start with the professional profiles, what do I have to do first? Make a relation from the image titles to the matching person on the professional table?

No, you would use the existing relation in the profile table.
The search is for professional profiles, correct?
The search is only going to search data in the profile table. It doesn’t look into the relation for images, even though you have a list of images in the profile detail screen.
My original thought was to use the existing relation in the profile table and create a joined list of image titles in the profile table. Then display that joined list on The profile detail screen.
From what I’m understanding, the joined list isn’t searchable, even if you display it on the screen, so the next thought is to build a custom action that first writes the joined list to a basic column in the profile table, and then display that basic column on the profile detail screen. All before going to the detail screen. In this case, all profiles would need to be opened before the basic column gets filled to allow the search to work.
I still would hope the joined list would be adequate though. That’s what I want to test. Hopefully tonight.

If you start from proffs. you need relation from pros to image, then lookup throu this relation and Join list this lookup. When this proffs adding image. you need , on submit set solumn to proffs row to tilte list basic column
in a proffs details screen you need to add text or rich text component pointing to proffs basic list columt and set visibility option for this componrt to hide

You can skip the lookup and go straight to the joined list. Lookup isn’t required for Joined List to work.

This will work, and probably work better than my idea of setting the value on the way into the detail screen, but it is a lot more overhead to set up. That would be my only issue with it. Especially if an image is deleted or the title is changed.

Yeah it looks like two separate tables. I assume we are only talking about the Professionals and Images tables. Not the User table. When I say profile table, I am referring to the Professional table.

is no problem, because durind title editing or deletion title list will be overwriten again. Yes its alot of config. But, searching works only to basic column thats why so many setups
Updated: searching really works also for computed columns.

OK, I just did a quick test and the joined list is completely searchable. This shouldn’t be complicated to set up.
So to recap:
Use the existing relation that is currently linking the Professionals table to the Images table, and create a Joined List of image titles from the relation. This will be in the Professionals table. Then display that joined list on The Professional detail screen using a text component. Finally create a dummy visibility condition on that text component to hide it.
All image titles will be searched when searching for professsionals.

And just for my sanity, I also did the same thing with Classic Apps and it worked exactly the same.

No worries. It forced me to double check and make sure I’m not making things up. Now I can confidently say that it does work.
