Using DISTINCT in a CakePHP find function

Question

I am writing a CakePHP 1.2 app. I have a list of people that I want the user to be able to filter on different fields. For each filterable field, I have a drop down list.

Answer 1

In 2.7-RC version, this is working

$this->Model1->find('list', array(
      'fields' => array('Model1.field1', Model1.field1')
));
