I have 2 fields: realprice avgprice I'd like to be able to take the contents of avgprice if realprice is not available. due to design the average price cannot be encoded in the 'realprice'-field.
Since I need to be able to filter, sort and facet on these fields, it would be really nice to be able to do that just on something like a virtual-field called 'price' or something. That field should contain the conditional logic to know from which actual field to take the contents from. I was looking at using functionqueries, but to me knowledge these can't be used to filter and facet on. Would creating a custom field work for this or does a field know nothing from its sibling-fields? What would performance impact be like, since this is really important in this instance. Any better ways? Subclassing standardrequestHandler and hacking it all together seems rather ugly to me, but if it's needed...
