Scott Gray closed OFBIZ-4307.

    Resolution: Not A Problem

Hi Mirko, thanks for your contribution but I'm afraid there is already a method in EntityUtil that performs the same function.  see getFieldListFromEntityList(...).

> Hi there,
> in the past i often got Lists of GenericValues that only contained a GenericValue with one field each, because the delegator already filtered the result.
> Like you want to filter "orderHeader" for a service to work with the orderId. In this case you got a list of GenericValues with only the field "orderId". But to work with the List you still always have to do .get to extract the one field.
> I added a method that is able to filter a List<GenericValue> to a List<String>.
