Grid row highlight from Actions toolbar for Select List column happens on display value

pvnsphani Public · May 15 2025

Idea Summary
Row highlight specified on interactive grid for Select List columns is applied on Display Value of the column but will be effective if it is applied on Return Value. The row highlighting will fail(i.e. row/s will not be highlighted) if the display value is different for the same return value. 

Use Case
I have created a row highlight via Actions → Format → Highlight which highlights rows with “Status” column ‘Yes’ as in the below screenshot.

But if the grid loads with different label for ‘Yes’ as value for “Status” column, then row highlight doesn't apply. Say if I change Yes to Yes! and No to No! observe in the below screenshot.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
I prefer this row highlight be applied on Return Values for effective usage even if the labels of display values change dynamically.

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that due to all the internal implications we need to take into account, it is unlikely to make its way into APEX.

    Hi @pvnsphani This is definitely a good idea, however you could achieve this already by having a second column that contains the return only. The reason we are rejecting this idea is that the highlight dialog is designed for end users, not developers. End users don't know about LOV's return value and display value.
