API find on id and on parent.id

[devsmo]

Hello,

I'm building a web app using PW as the backend.
Within the app there's a advanced search tool which allows searching using ID's. This search needs to be able to search stuff with template=x AND (ID=y OR parent.ID=y).

It would seem Processwire doesn't handle this?

 

template=entrytpl, parent.id|id=7077, sort=relatedstuff.release_date, sort=someotehrfield, start=0, limit=100

 

It doesn't cause an error, but the search only happens on one of the IDs (it would seem parent id).
Is there some workaround or solution for this?

 

This site runs on PW 2.7.3, upgrading is not an option for a while yet.

OR-groups should do the trick.

template=entrytpl, (parent.id=7077), (id=7077), sort=relatedstuff.release_date, sort=someotehrfield, start=0, limit=100
