Custom Filter Operators for String Fields

String-filtering operations have the following requirements and restrictions:

  • String comparisons are case-insensitive

  • Wildcards are supported for substring matching. This is applicable for the like and not like operators. Use the * to filter on substrings, as shown in the following examples.

    • Example of substring searches for arrays with the same prefix (for example, hqfin01). In this example, to look for all arrays in the hqfin group, the following wildcards could be used: like hqfin*

  • When using the in operator with a comma-separated list, do not include spaces after the commas in the list.
