Hello,
I want to reduce possibility of data filtering in the Flexmonster component in accordance with the following rules:
Leave only these options depending on type of field:

(not)equal, (not)contain, begin for strings
equal, greater(_or

_equal), less(_or_equal), between for numbers

equal, before(_or_equal), after(_or_equal), between for dates

I found that it should be handled in BE.
https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/implementing-filters/
Am I in the right place?
And, is there any possibility to handle it in fronted also?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

You are correct that choosing which filters to enable for different data types is possible using the custom data source API. Currently, it is only available to configure on the back end. Feel free to check our documentation for more details: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/implement-custom-data-source-api/

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Kind regards,
Nadia

Dear Flexmonster Support Team,

Thank you for your prompt response and for confirming that customizing the filter options for different data types is only possible through the custom data source API on the back end. I appreciate your recommendation to refer to your documentation for more details.However, I would like to kindly request that you consider the possibility of implementing custom filters for JSON data sources in future updates. This would greatly benefit users who rely on JSON data sources and would allow them to tailor their filter options based on their specific data types.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and please let me know if you need any further information or clarification.

Best regards
