Saved Search and Record Colors

In one of my forms, I wanted to use a record’s color in a saved search. That’s when I discovered the feature isn’t supported.

Fortunately, there’s a simple workaround: I added a field script that outputs the record color as a text value. Now I can use that text field in my searches without any trouble.

Here's the not so fancy script:

function Get_Record_Color() {
    return record.getRecordColor();
}

Get_Record_Color();
