Adding a field under Available Filters tab of search throws a notice: "You cannot use an expression builder criteria filter as an available filter"

Steps to Reproduce:

1.    Navigate to Lists > Search > Saved Searches < New > Item.

2.    Mark Use Expressions  check box under Criteria tab

3.    Under Criteria tab, enter the following:

Type: Inventory Item And

Transaction Fields… Type: Item Receipt

4.    Enter fields under Results tab.

5.    Under Available Filters, add Transaction Fields… Type

Actual Result: Notice is being thrown: "You cannot use an expression builder criteria filter as an available filter"

Reason: If Use Expression check box is marked on saved searches, user will not be able to add the fields added on Criteria to Available Filters. This issue is being addressed on Enhancement 188776. As an alternate solution, user may do either of the following:

1.    Remove the field from Available Filters tab.

2.    Unmark the Use Expressions checkbox under Criteria tab.

  1. Hi, I am fairly new to NS and am running into this issue. I need the expression builder in my criteria so that's not an option. Is there any other workaround you have found? I noticed you said it would be fixed when the enhancement is done, is there a way to check the status? Thanks so much!
