Hello everyone, I 've a requirement to satisfy in which I have to implement a costum “Request for others” via a costum form. I created a workflow in which I defined the variable company1Code and company2Code of the identity that is launching the form:

 ![w1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/3X/9/6/9699650b8beecf72fbfe49c8a1338b60adaf87c7.png)  
The point is that inside that Form I want to limit the “request for others” only for those one that have the same company1Code or company2Code.  
 ![form_search](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/3X/6/b/6b5ce9d62c248c0e94ffb124e957463d59a42b3a.png)  
i’m trying to use the search with the inline variable as defined in the screen but this is not working, also I tried to search “\*” and adding filters, but it is not displaying nothing. Anyone that is experienced with forms can please help me?

I don’t think it’s possible to do that kind of thing in Form.  
I believe it would be simpler to check those attributes before the Form step, using a Compare Strings action.
