'Equipment Category' = $536870913$ is qualification for search menu. I believe this would be called a cascading menu, where I have 3 menus where the available options depend on the value selected in the previous menu.
'Equipment Category' references a field on another form and the $536870913$ references the selection made in the previous menu. The menu populates with the correct set of options, but I get the errors when I try to save it? Andy L.

This workaround should still be valid on later versions of ARS. However, it would be MUCH simpler to follow Joe's suggestion, and change the display type to 'Drop-Down List' in the display properties of the character field to which the search menu is attached (unless for some reason you don't want the character field to look like a selection field).
